Feedback and testimonials


  • Jimmy Wu August 02, 2007
    This is a great example of a succinct and captivating pitch by a seasoned entrepreneur. Trip piques the interest of the viewer with just three words, social, casual, mobile. He then talks about the market opportunity and briefly touches on the company's accomplishments, all in just 90 seconds. Nice pitch.
