AI narrative workshop

DON'T MAKE
PRETTIER SLIDES.
BUILD A
STRONGER ARGUMENT.

Pitchopotamus turns your ideas, notes or current deck into a visual map of the story. Then it questions every claim, finds what's missing and tells you what to fix before your audience does.

See it in action→How it works

Pitchopotamus · “Nice story. Now prove it.”

For founders about to raise, pitch or step on a stage.

story map / seed roundanalysing

Problem

Teams read 300 CVs to find 3 people.

Insight

The bottleneck isn't filtering. It's who applies.

Claim

We're going after a huge market.

Solution

A sourcing engine that informs, not scores.

⚠ Assumption

Huge compared to what?

Pitchopotamus · note

You said “huge market”. Huge compared to what?

MOST AI
AGREES WITH YOU.
OURS ARGUES BACK.

Because your audience won't autocomplete your reasoning out of politeness.
