How to Prepare for Investor Interviews
Mock interviews need unpredictability to be useful
Practicing with a list of questions you wrote yourself defeats the purpose. You already know what's coming.
Real interviews have unexpected angles, tough follow-ups, and moments where you have to think on your feet.
To actually improve, you need something that reacts to what you say—not a static script.
Why common advice doesn't address the root problem
Confidence tips miss the structural issue
This isn't about confidence. Even confident speakers struggle when there's no conversational partner to create natural rhythm.
Better equipment doesn't fix delivery
A nicer camera and microphone make your monologue look and sound better, but it's still a monologue.
Content templates don't create conversation
Following a format gives you structure but doesn't provide the dynamic questioning that makes interviews engaging.
The cognitive science behind conversational delivery
Your brain is wired for dialogue, not monologue. When you speak, you subconsciously look for signals—nods, questions, facial expressions—to calibrate your delivery.
Without these signals, your pacing falters. You lose the natural emphasis and pauses that make speech engaging.
This isn't a skill issue. It's a neurological reality. You need conversational feedback to maintain natural delivery.
