Paste a deck, a demo URL, or your one-paragraph pitch. Sixty seconds later, four AI partners tell you what’s actually wrong with it. Free. Public.
No login required for the free public roast.
Drop in a deck PDF, a demo URL, a Loom link, or just paste the text of your one-paragraph pitch. No account needed for the free public roast.
Four AI partners (think the YC panel after their second espresso) read your pitch, find the holes, and record a 60-second video roast.
Free roasts are public on the leaderboard at roast.squidgy.ai. Worst pitches go viral. Best pitches get more applications.
Public roast

Private + constructive
$19 / pitch
A short AI-generated video where four mock YC partners review your pitch and tell you what's actually wrong with it — bluntly, like a real partner meeting after a long day. Free version is public by default. Paid version is private and includes structured constructive feedback alongside the roast.
Pitch deck (PDF), product demo URL, Loom video link, or pasted text (your one-paragraph pitch, your landing page copy, your application essay). The longer-form the input, the sharper the roast.
On the free tier — yes, public on the leaderboard at roast.squidgy.ai. That's the deal: free roasts in exchange for entertaining the rest of us. Upgrade to keep yours private and get constructive structured feedback you can actually use to improve the pitch.
60 seconds. Long enough to land four solid jokes and one real critique, short enough to share. Generated in roughly 2-3 minutes after submission.
No. It's an AI-generated parody panel modelled on partner-style critique. If you want real YC feedback, apply to YC. If you want to know whether your pitch can survive a brutal first-pass before you do that — this is for you.
Squidgy is the platform for building, deploying, and monetizing custom AI agents. The Pitch Roaster is one — a four-character agent crew running on Squidgy's own infrastructure. If you like what it does, you can build your own on squidgy.ai.
Private (not listed on the public leaderboard, no SEO indexing), longer roast (~120s), structured constructive feedback report alongside the video (specific weak claims, missing data, pricing-page issues, market-size problems), and the ability to re-roast iterations of the same pitch to track improvements.
Built on Squidgy. The Pitch Roaster is itself a four-agent crew running on our platform. Build your own here.
