I said the wrong thing and suddenly our Series A pitch meeting was over

In 2010 I was pitching my startup for Series A to top tier investors like Peter Fenton at Benchmark. He asked me a question, and a very simple one. We said the wrong thing, and it was the end of the meeting. In this video I walk you through what the question was that ended the meeting, and why that was wrong.
