Behind the scenes of the Inflight startup pitch💡

Too much of designing a startup happens behind closed doors

So I want to work with the garage door open while building Inflight (https://www.inflight.co/) as much as possible.

You already saw a bunch of the nitty gritty UI details (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D39Dv9MSlhs)…

But when you’re going 0 to 1 on something, the storytelling piece is often the hardest part.

So this episode is a sneak peek of a recent presentation we gave in SF (and some behind-the-scenes commentary to go along with it).
