@Rifali is this the event poster for the Goa meetup?

Pain points are so important to capture!

Monday is here! Ping me anytime on Rocket

I'm excited to get testing on the V2 and put my ideas to the test vs the bosses!

Who else is as hyped as I am?!?

@Rifali said in Pitch Arcade v2 coming soon!:

I had exactly the same thought ("used to reactions ...") and it took me few seconds to change the narrative of my mind and then did click the ^ button.

Also to reply to a certain post like the one above , i can't reply directly, have to post it as seperate comment.

We can quote something to reply directly to it. but yes, it posts as a new comment in the thread

There's only upvote and downvote... from what I'm seeing

Making Sense of Your Pitch Feedback

Come here immediately after receiving feedback, before you change anything.
This category is for sense-making, not verdicts.

Use This Category To

• Share what surprised you
• Name where feedback conflicted or didn’t land as expected
• Explore why different personas reacted differently
• Surface assumptions the feedback challenged

Share

• Short excerpts or summaries of feedback (not full dumps)
• Your interpretation of what it might mean
• Where you feel unsure or conflicted

Don’t Share

• Your full pitch
• Defensive justifications
• Requests for validation
• “Who’s right?” arguments

Helpful Framing

• “The feedback I didn’t expect was…”
• “Two personas reacted very differently, and I think it’s because…”
• “This comment keeps bothering me, and I’m not sure why…”
• “I thought my core message was X, but the feedback suggests Y…”

How to Respond Here

• Help clarify, don’t correct
• Ask questions before offering opinions
• Point out patterns you’ve seen elsewhere
• Avoid prescribing solutions too early

Confusion is not failure. Defensiveness is a signal. Take your time here.

Read first. Post second.

This category sets expectations for how the forum works and why it exists. It is the reference point moderators will link back to when redirecting or clarifying posts.

What This Forum Is For

• Reflecting on feedback received on Pitch Arcade
• Learning how others interpret similar signals
• Sharing what you changed (and why)
• Asking specific questions when you’re genuinely stuck
• Spotting patterns across pitches and feedback over time

What This Forum Is Not For

• Pitch dumping or deal-seeking
• “Any thoughts?” or “feedback welcome” posts
• Self-promotion or audience building
• Status flexing, posturing, or ego games
• Drive-by opinions without context

If your goal is visibility, this is not the right place.
If your goal is clarity, you’re in the right place.

How Pitch Arcade Works (Context)

Pitch Arcade is a learning tool, not a scoreboard.

Key things to understand:

• Disagreement between personas is a feature, not a bug
• Conflicting feedback usually points to framing issues
• “Harsh” feedback is about the idea, not you
• Limited pitch length and structured inputs are deliberate, they force prioritisation

How to Post Well

Before posting, ask yourself:

1. What did I learn?
2. What changed (or didn’t)?
3. What is the specific question or insight here?

Good posts are concrete, honest, and focused on learning, not performance.

Platform Questions

Platform questions are welcome if they are:

• Specific
• Curious
• Grounded in actual use

Examples:

• “What does Persona X tend to prioritise?”
• “Why does the system push back on this framing?”
• “What does ‘strong signal’ mean in this context?”

Avoid feature demands, tool comparisons, or roadmap speculation.

Can't wait!
