Hey everybody, welcome to the first episode of Pitch Gary V,

a new series that kind of came out of the birth of all the hip hop video and meetings we've had.

But now what I realize is I'm taking a lot of meetings, so not a lot these days, but I did forever,

and I kind of want to get back into it where startups are pitching me.

I figured, you know what? Why don't we film these things?

Why don't we film these things for two reasons?

One, so many of you are trying to figure out how to pitch to good VCs and angel investors,

and I had that kind of career, so I'm going to ask those kind of questions.

Number two, very honestly, for the startups that are able to get through the Phil Toronto filter,

who is the Mike Boyd of this series,

fill my right hand for the last decade,

admin all the way to my right hand and investing,

for the people that are able to get through his filter,

you know, you'll see in this episode how many meetings a year he's taking,

it's great exposure, maybe I won't invest, but maybe you will.

And so I'm really excited to put people on, whether they're hip hop artists,

whether they're startups, and I'm also really excited to put many people on that are trying

to learn how to pitch and have the cadence. And I just have a funny feeling,

this is the beginning of a very exciting series in my content life.

Hi, hello Rachel, nice to meet you.

What a try meet you. How are you guys?

Good, how are you? Sit. Thank you.
