The Pitch Room

Max Bratter

Booking Overview

An interview podcast focused on entrepreneurship, startup building, and the firsthand experiences of founders, technical innovators, and leaders of university entrepreneurship programs. Agencies could credibly pitch startup founders, deep-tech and health-tech entrepreneurs, accelerator leaders, and operators with substantive lessons from building companies; booking difficulty is likely low because the show features accessible professionals and rising experts rather than celebrity figures.
