If Shark Tank Were a Podcast
As is becoming par for the course with Gimlet podcasts, The Pitch picks up where Startup left off. In the amazing first episode of Season 2, we hear the story of Babyscripts,, who is looking to revolutionize prenatal care. The story is well-crafted and provides the right amount of tension and follow through. If you like Shark Tank, you'll love The Pitch!

Well done!
I'm a huge fan of Gimlet podcasts (Reply All & Startup my 2 favorites) and gave this a try. Josh is easy to listen to and I love the concept. I listened to the first, Babyscripts, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Fantastic!

Season 2 is great!
Didn't think this podcast could get better, but season 2 is amazing & totally improves upon a great concept. Keep it up!

So glad Josh "pitched" to Gimlet
Loved the behind-the-scene story on how this became part of the Gimlet portfolio. Excited to hear more shark-tank-esque stories and what the investors really think why it will do well or fail.

love being in the room
This show is such an amazing look into investing that we don't normally get to see. Also really love the follow ups at the end.

Love it
Found this a year or so ago and have listened to them all. Great for entrepreneurs or anyone interested in fundraising and startups. This is currently my number 2 podcast behind how I built this and now ahead of Startup. Could climb to 1 soon.

Engaging!
Who knew a pitch could be so riveting! The stakes are high, the questions are tough. Entertaining, engaging, educational and very well made.

Different tone than other gimlet shows
The pitch offers a unique tone on the gimlet network. It reminds me a little bit of a game show in presentation. Great show overall

Great podcast!
It's like shark tank in audio form but better! More detail and depth about the companies, founders and investors. I will definitely be back for more.

excellent!!
the thing I like about this show is that you can enjoy it if you're really into business, but you can also just listen for the drama!

Genuine and Visceral
Josh is real. What hooked me is his moxie to record the moment Gimlet offered to acquire the show. Why? Because anyone who has created anything and then let it loose in the wild gets choked up when they see that their baby can fly and take care of itself. And that feeling is visceral, like thinking of how it feels to carry your sleeping child into the house after they fell asleep in the car. Great podcast!!!

I'm biased but...
I'm biased but... The thing I love about this show is that it combines the drama of reality TV, with the insights from the best business journalism podcasts. I always get a better understanding of how a particular business and industry operates. Doesn't sound like anything else out there.

The drama!
Really enjoyed how this show builds the drama. The entrepreneurs are getting real feedback and REAL investment offers after they pitch. The best part of the episode is hearing an update from the entrepreneur. There are so many terms/conditioners that the listener doesn't know about, and unique to each deal. It is nice to get an update and actually hear if they got the money or not. Super imformative!

Love it.
Doesn't sound like anything else. Business lessons in a reality format with really smart investors giving practical advice to hungry startup founders. Can't get enough.

Awesome
Like Shark Tank, only on a podcast. It's more in depth - highlighting strengths and weaknesses of the business.

Above and Beyond
Hey, As a big Shark Tank fan I was a bit skeptical of your podcast when I first heard about it. I was totally wrong. I love your podcast. The little extra part after the pitch where you interview the entrepreneurs is the perfect addition to the podcast that Shark Tank is missing. So many other great things I could say. Keep up the great work and I will be sure to share this with my fellow shark tank lovers.

Audio Shark Tank with Depth
If you enjoy Shark Tank but are looking for more in-depth discussion with the start-ups and on the investor's decision making then this is a podcast for you. I enjoyed many of the pitches and getting an insider view of how the show evolved on the first season. The second season is even better.
