We secured a meeting with a potential buyer but completely forgot about it....

I once forgot my laptop at home, so I had to pitch without my presentation. I felt completely unprepared and flustered!

@nathan_luke I think it's a great learning experience, been in a similar situation btw and after that I have practiced pitching without the slides just in case! Also the elevator pitch is super important! :)

I once got caught off guard when an investor asked a tough question. I stumbled over my words and didn’t have a solid answer ready.

@mitchell_marshall1 Been there too! and learned to never try and answer questions I do not have the answers to, I usually try to say things like "We are still working on that" or "we are in the process of figuring that out".

During a meeting, I accidentally shared the wrong screen, showing my personal emails instead of the pitch deck. Talk about an embarrassing moment.

In a meeting, I used the wrong company name when addressing the investors. It was awkward, and I could tell it didn’t make a good impression.
