@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! :)

@simonas_kauzonas Been there as well (was because of a delayed flight)! but they were nice enough to reschedule.

@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".
