Stop pitching slides. Pitch to investors with a working app.

You know the drill. You walk in with a deck and a vision, then the first question lands: “Can I try it?” Investors are screening for execution, not imagination. If all you’ve got is slides, you’re already fighting uphill.

That’s the painful loop. You burn nights polishing mockups and narratives while competitors put devices on the table and say, “Here, tap through it.” When investors can’t touch anything, you look early. When they can, they start asking about usage, not hypotheticals.

Here’s the fix. Describe your app in plain English, pressure-test the scope in Plan Mode, then switch to Build Mode to generate a real React Native app. Walk into the room, pull out your phone, and let them try it. If you want extra credibility, push it to the App Store with Vibecode. That’s a different conversation.

How to pitch to investors with a working app in 5 steps

Plan Mode: type the idea, get feedback, auto-generate the build prompt

• Write your concept in plain English: target user, core flows, and the outcome you want them to achieve.
• Get AI feedback that highlights gaps:
• Missing states, onboarding friction, empty states.
• Data model basics and events to track.
• Monetization surfaces: freemium + paywall, subscriptions, one-time unlocks, or ads.
• Click once to generate the final prompt. You get a tight MVP scope plus a backlog, so you build only what matters for the meeting.

Build Mode: generate the app and run it on your phone

• Switch to Build Mode. VibeCode acts like an AI app architect:
• Full React Native project with navigation, state management, and UI scaffolded.
• Feature gating and paywall screens if you want to show revenue tests.
• Tracking hooks so you can talk activation and conversion.
• Iterate fast. Regenerate screens and flows in minutes until the demo feels crisp.

Go live before the meeting

Optionally ship to the store:

• Enter your app name and upload your logo or generate it with Vibecode.
• Build Config: add your Expo Token + Apple ID + 2FA.
• Hit build. VibeCode will do the rest
• Your monetized app can be live in days. No dev team, no months-long drag.

Show the thing working:

• Open the app on your phone and hand it over. Let them tap through the core journey.
• Demo a paywall and trial start if you’re testing pricing.
• Pull basic metrics you’re already tracking: activation rate, time to first aha, trial-to-paid.

Pro tip for the meeting:

• Keep the deck short. Lead with the demo.
• Narrate the user’s job to be done. Don’t over-talk the tech.
• Share a one-pager of early signals: installs, activations, paywall views, trial starts.
• Close with what you’ll learn next and how fast you can ship it with VibeCode.

Why investors respond to proof, not promises

• Execution beats ideas. Anyone can say “we’ll build X.” Few can hand over a phone and say “try it now.”
• Tactile products build trust. Credibility jumps when investors can tap, swipe, and see data instead of hearing hypotheticals.
• Speed is a moat at pre-seed. When your loop is plan, build, ship, measure in days, you look like the team that will actually find product-market fit.
• Flexible by design. VibeCode handles the app-level architecture, so you tweak scope, pricing, and flows without rewriting boilerplate.

Bottom line: if you want a different outcome in your next meeting, show a different signal. Walk in with a working app, not just a story.

Pitch with proof. Build your app in VibeCode and show it working.
