Brilliant story.<p>That being said, Page should learn to be a better writer. Take this, for example:<p><i>As for my right ear, I was born deaf in it lol. This was not a fun experience to say the least.</i><p>Being born deaf in one ear is rarely a cause for &quot;laughing out loud,&quot; and the &quot;lol&quot; adds nothing to the first sentence. &quot;To say the least&quot; is a cliché and should be eliminated.<p>Anyone could be guilty of these writing sins and in a large enough sample of my own writing I&#x27;m sure someone could find clichés. Nonetheless they&#x27;re pervasive enough to detract from the piece. It wouldn&#x27;t be a bad idea to get <i>Write Right!</i> (my favorite short, pithy writing book) and William Zissner&#x27;s <i>On Writing Well</i>.

Your site doesn&#x27;t show anything without javascript enabled. You might want to have some graceful fallback of some kind.

There&#x27;s a good general sales lesson here: &quot;research&quot; is not &quot;preparation&quot;, even though they&#x27;re commonly assumed to be the same thing in practice, as was the case here.<p>It&#x27;s hard to craft a viable proposition if you don&#x27;t know your target, but simply knowing your target doesn&#x27;t mean you have a viable proposition. Ultimately, the OP&#x27;s pitch to Moritz (&quot;my poker success can be translate to success as a venture capitalist&quot;) was <i>interesting</i> enough to land him a meeting, but not <i>compelling</i> enough to close the deal.

Your sign in&#x2F;sign up doesn&#x27;t offer an option to sign up...

I loved the email pitch. Seemed to the point and anyone reading it was clear who you are and what you could do.<p>As Mark Twain said in a letter, &quot;if I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter&quot;.<p>Still a long way to go for me but I can see my pitches are becoming better. I happy to start with a long winded sentence now and then gradually cut it down.

Cool story, but fix your site! You&#x27;re missing out on valuable HN exposure because of the general feeling of incompleteness.
