Let's not be too unkind to Aydin Mirzaee, the young entrepreneur who's put his pitch to investors up on Youtube. The online presentation, and demo, runs just under four minutes; if only every startup dreamer were that succinct. And the bOK Systems founder, a Student World Assembly type, is really not a bad presenter, at all. In a suit, with slicked-back hair, Mirzaee has the hand gestures — five of them, count! — of a slightly sleazy infomercial pitchman. Which is better than most founders, whose performances aren't even good enough for a podcast advertorial. I can even tolerate, as common-garden hyperbole, the reference to the patent-pending technology which will, of course, bring clients "the power to reach return on investment levels that they've never been able to reach before with any other system." Let's pass gently over the bOK Systems tagline: Connect to the Revolution. But, please, no, don't raise the "million-dollar question". Anything but that. The clip is below.
