Good point, you're absolutely right there is this barrier, even if rationally ideas are rarely stolen. I hadn't thought about it from that angle. Will add a clear privacy note on the landing page. Thanks for flagging this!

Hi HN,

I built PitchMode because I'm a developer who struggled to pitch my own projects without drowning investors in technical details.

Record a 60-second pitch in your browser, get AI feedback in under 10 seconds. It analyzes clarity, pacing, filler words, and whether your hook would actually make an investor lean in.

PitchMode works in the browser: 1. Record your pitch (up to 60 seconds) 2. AI analyzes: filler words, pacing (words per minute), clarity, confidence level 3. Get a detailed report with specific suggestions

Would love feedback on the analysis accuracy and what other metrics would be useful. What would make this actually valuable enough to use before a real pitch?

Curious, do you give any feedback on how founders present verbally, or is it strictly the written application?
