Business Opportunity Pitch on Wellfound (AngelList)
A business plan sounds confident but turns vague under specific questions about structure or verifiable partners. On Wellfound (AngelList), where the dominant catfish pattern is a fabricated founder/investor persona used to lend legitimacy to a crypto-investment pitch, this tactic is a common companion to that pattern. Wellfound (AngelList) has no native video-call feature, so testing for this tactic usually means proposing a call on a separate app instead.
