(Representational image)Deveci, who previously founded GodmodeHQ, called it a “nightmare VC pitch” in an X post shared yesterday.He revealed that the incident happened in 2022, when he met the unnamed venture capitalist over a Google Meet call because most companies were still working remotely.“My nightmare VC pitch was back in 2022 on Google Meet cos everyone was remote still,” he said in his X post.(Also read: Startup prints pitch on giant cake, sends it to venture firm to land $5 million investment)What happened on the callAccording to the London-based founder, the VC joined the call 10 minutes later and was visibly distracted. When he did open his camera, Deveci noticed “a girl in a bikini in the background, lying down on the bed.”The VC apparently said “hi” to Deveci and then simply stopped responding. “He simply stops talking and does not respond to any kind of pleasantries I extend,” said Deveci in his X post.Things proceeded to get weirder from there. According to the founder, the VC muted the call and began to have an argument with the girl.“Then immediately, the girl says something, the guy mutes our call - turns around and they start profusely discussing/fighting,” he wrote. “There is no voice but camera is open so I can tell.”For around 12 minutes, the VC and the girl argued about something. Then, the VC turned around, unmuted himself, and told Deveci that he had 5 minutes left to pitch his idea.Needless to say, things did not get better from there.The founder of GodmodeHQ recalled: “I pitch the company - he says the competition will kill me even though we do not compete with the companies he lists because he did not care to listen to what we do.”The call ended with an abrupt “thank you” from the VC.Internet reactsMert Deveci’s recollection of his nightmarish VC pitch has garnered thousands of views and reactions.“This the craziest interaction so far. You win this one,” wrote one person. Another urged the founder to “Name and shame” the VC, which he declined to do.“Wild story,” a third commented. One X user wrote: “I don’t know how people do it. I applaud anyone who has had to raise money. I couldn’t do it. How do you not say something? I would have to say some underhanded comment.”(Also read: Entrepreneur blocked Vinod Khosla's number after a dinner.
