Practice out loud in 60 seconds, and find out what people actually heard.
Runs on your phone. Nothing leaves it unless you send it.
You reached “what you do” at 1:14. Most of the room decided before you got there.
Alone, on your phone
How long until you say what you do. Not filler words. The thing that actually loses people.
Watch it once with no audio, once with no picture. 2 different problems, and you can't see either with both on.
What you said, not what you think you said. Most people have never read one of their own.
Answer the same question twice, days apart. Identical phrasing means you're reciting, and it breaks the moment someone interrupts.
2 answers to the same question, 3 days apart. Everything highlighted came out word for word.
We're building an intelligent routing layer for last-mile delivery, and what really sets us apart is the optimisation engine underneath.
We're building an intelligent routing layer for last-mile delivery. So basically it's software for couriers.
11 words identical. That sentence is memorised. It'll survive right up until someone stops you in the middle of it.
An example, not a real company.
Every run is kept, and 1 number tracks across all of them: how long it takes you to say what you do.
What does your company do?
We're building an intelligent routing layer for last-mile delivery, with a real-time optimisation engine and a dispatcher dashboard, and there's also a driver app that we use as a proving ground for the algorithm.
An example, not a real company.
When you're ready
Working alone shows you what you said. It can't tell you what landed: you're the one person who can't hear your own pitch fresh, and the people you normally ask already know what you do.
So when you want that, send the 60 seconds: not your deck, not your numbers, to 5 people who've never heard of you. They answer 1 question: what does this company do. You listen to 3 others to get your 5.
Delivery software? For a supermarket, maybe.
Something about algorithms. Didn't catch who uses it.
An app for drivers.
No idea, honestly. Logistics something.
It plans delivery routes for courier companies.
3 heard a different product. You named 3 things and the last one buried the first.
An example, not a real company.
Where this actually is
I'd rather tell you that than let you find out. Practice is ready to try now. If you'd like to be a listener for someone else, say so and I'll send you the link.
No. The parts that run on your phone only measure: how long until you say what you do, what words you actually used, whether 2 answers came out identical. None of that is an opinion. Any judgement comes from people, and you can see who said what.
You can prompt a model to be neutral. You can't prompt it to not understand. It reads your whole answer at once and gets the point even when you buried it at minute two: exactly the miss a person hearing you once would make. That miss is what you're trying to find.
Other founders, and people who've agreed to spend 90 seconds listening. They don't need to be investors or experts: the only quality that matters is that they've never heard of your company. That's the thing your friends and your team can't be.
No, and you can't. The only thing that can be sent is the 60-second recording. There's no upload for a deck, a financial model or a data room, because none of that is needed to find out whether people understand what you do.
It stays on your device. Sending it to listeners is a separate, deliberate step, and you can delete it at any point. It's never published, never sold, and never used to train a model. The full policy.
Nothing right now. If there's ever a price, you'll hear about it before anything changes, and nothing you've already recorded gets locked behind it.
Probably. The 60-second test isn't really about investors: it's the same test a customer, a hire or an interviewer runs in the first minute. Founders raising money just feel it most sharply, which is why they're who it's built around first.
The recording stays on your device. Practice, the transcript and the repeat check all run there: no upload unless you choose to save your progress — and even then, just the numbers, never the recording. No account needed to use any of it.
Nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to send it, and the only thing you can send is the 60 seconds. A recording of your voice is personal data, so sending is always a deliberate step and you can delete it whenever you like.
The full policy: what's kept, for how long, and how to make us delete it.
