ADVICE

Pitching Advice

  • Founders should clearly and concisely present their startup idea within the given timeframe.
  • After the initial uninterrupted pitch, be prepared for questions and interruptions.
INSIGHT

Hearing Loss and Captions

  • Hearing loss is a significant problem, affecting more people than cancer or diabetes, with low hearing aid adoption rates.
  • Captions are a preferred solution for many with hearing loss, leading to lawsuits like the one against Netflix.
ADVICE

DTC Hearing Aids

  • Focus on direct-to-consumer hearing aids due to deregulation.
  • This is a larger business opportunity than AR glasses for hearing impaired, as big tech will likely dominate that market.
