What is GB Pit In

Office hours for seed founders.

GB Pit In is an office hour where pre-seed and seed-stage founders can talk through fundraising and business strategy, casually. As you push your business forward, moments keep coming up when you want a sounding board — even before you formally kick off a raise.

  • I want to talk to an investor, but it’s not yet time to make a concrete approach.
  • I built a pitch deck and want an investor’s perspective on it.
  • I want an outside perspective to help organize my market selection and business plan.

GB Pit In welcomes exactly these early-stage conversations. A Global Brain member takes your consultation based on your topic and shares frank feedback drawn from the front lines of seed investing.

  • Held every Wednesday

    GB Pit In is an online consultation held every Wednesday. We review your entry and, when a session can be held, arrange the right member and a time — so seed-stage consultations reach us more smoothly than a one-off inquiry.

  • Sparring before you raise

    No investment decision is made on the spot. The point is to spar together on what you want to sort out before formal fundraising — your business direction, fundraising prep, how you present your deck.

  • The right member for your topic

    Based on your entry, our team assigns the right member. Whatever the theme — fundraising, market selection, business plan, pitch materials — we give concrete feedback from an investor’s point of view.

Topics

Bring questions like these.

From fundraising prep to building the business itself — any theme you’re wrestling with at the pre-seed or seed stage is welcome.

  • Figure out what to prepare for a first fundraise
  • Get your business plan and pitch deck reviewed through an investor’s eyes
  • Spar over market selection and business model
  • Get an outside perspective on your current business hypothesis
  • Pin down the gaps to close now, ahead of your next round
  • Ask whether Global Brain could be a fit as an investor

It’s fine if you haven’t fully worked out your thinking yet. Prepare materials that explain your business, and tell us what you’re wrestling with and want to discuss when you apply.
