How I Voted
I based my voting off a ranking system of 1-5. Everytime someone gave their pitch at the end I would give them their respective rank.

Throughout the pitches I would knock out the ones that fell below the highest 5 scores.

Any slip, typo, mess-up, or misstated sentence can be all that the investor needs to not want to give you their money.
