Investor pitch practice
Practice the pitch. Survive the questions.
Pitch your startup out loud to an AI investor who knows your traction and your ask. When you finish, it asks the question you hoped it wouldn't. On the last exchange, it decides: a term sheet, a second meeting, or a pass.
15 rounds free (a round is one exchange with your opponent).

An investor pitch, start to finish
- You describe your company. Give your pitch. An investor pushes on the numbers.
- It pushes back, out loud. Answer by voice or type. The opponent follows up on what you actually said.
- You get a scorecard. Your score, the line that cost you most, and what to say instead.

How a session works
Three steps, a few minutes
- Describe the company. What you do, your traction and the ask, in your own words. Pick the round: pre-seed or angel, seed, Series A, an accelerator interview, or a pitch competition judge. If you know your weak spot, add it and the investor will go there.
- Pick the investor and pitch. Numbers-first, market skeptic, operator, or a friendly partner who still needs the number. Set Easy, Normal or Hard and 4, 8 or 12 exchanges. You have the floor first, and the investor holds its questions until you finish.
- Get the decision and the scorecard. On the last exchange, the investor gives a term sheet, a second meeting on one condition, or a pass with the reason. You are scored on Clarity of story, Numbers & evidence, Handling objections and Investability, with the answer you should have given, quoted.

Sample scorecard
The answer that lost the investor, quoted
“Runway's not really a concern for us. We're very capital efficient.”
The investor asked how many months of runway you have. A non-answer to that question is what turned a second meeting into a pass.
Try instead: “Eleven months at $38k a month. This round takes us to 26 months and $40k MRR, which is the milestone for our next raise.”
Free sessions show your score, the bars, your #1 priority and one missed moment with a better line. Any pack or plan unlocks every moment and your next drill.
Questions the investor will ask
- “What's your CAC, and how long until you earn it back?” The numbers-first investor asks for the number, answers rambling with “give me the number,” and loses interest when it gets a story instead.
- “Why now, and what happens when a bigger player notices?” The market skeptic's question. Saying “we have no competitors” lowers its private conviction score.
- “How did you win your first customers?” The operator wants to know how the product actually works, who bought first, and what your sales motion costs.
- “How did you get to that market size?” A top-down market number counts against you. A specific number with a source counts for you.
- “How many months does this round buy, and what do you hit by then?” Every investor pushes on the ask: valuation, use of funds, runway and milestones. A dodged runway question caps your Investability score.
- The weak spot you named. Tell it your churn is high or your sales are still founder-led, and it will probe that. It comes back to any question you did not answer.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I pitch first, or does the investor start?
You pitch first, in one message or over a few. Each message you send counts as one exchange, so a pitch in one message leaves more room for questions. The investor gives only a short reaction until you finish, then asks one question at a time, starting with your weakest claim. Choose 4, 8 or 12 exchanges and the investor gives its decision on the last one. Open-ended sessions run until you end them, with no set decision turn.
Can I practice for an accelerator interview like Y Combinator's?
Pick "Accelerator interview (10 minutes, rapid fire)" as the round. The investor asks one short, blunt question at a time and calls out any answer that runs long. There is no timer: you set the session length in exchanges (4, 8 or 12). AdversaryAI is not affiliated with Y Combinator or any other accelerator, and the questions are not taken from any program's real interviews.
Is the investor a real person or a real firm?
No. It plays an investor type (numbers-first, market skeptic, operator or friendly partner), not a named person, and it is told never to invent facts about real companies. It probes what you tell it, so give it your real traction and your real ask.
Is this investment or fundraising advice?
No. It is practice for the conversation. The investor does not give operating advice, and its decision at the end is a practice outcome, not an offer. The scorecard grades how you pitched and answered, not whether your company is a good investment.
Is it voice or text?
Either. Voice works in Chrome, Edge and Safari, and you can type in any browser. Audio is never stored. Your transcript is kept for you.
