Ed: This is a really crappy pitch, I can’t imagine the founder submitted this, must have been an intern or an agency as the pitch is incoherent, but I do want to draw your attention to how effective the video on their site is at demonstrating their value proposition, worth visiting to watch it Faralong.com, hard to believe the same company did the site and the pitch.
