Founders warned: VCs feed pitches into LLMs, so pitching is prompting now

HyperWrite founder Matt Shumer says VCs are feeding founders' pitches straight into LLMs to write investment memos. His tongue-in-cheek advice: since pitching is prompting now, founders should pitch in a way that gets the model to write the memo they want. The quoted tweet adds that with technical products, founders should assume the person across the table is a 'meat proxy' at least 50% of the time.
