From MBA research to AI coaching
After watching thousands of talented professionals lose life-changing opportunities due to poor presentation skills, we spent 15 years building the AI coach that transforms how you're perceived.
What is EchoPitch?
EchoPitch is an AI presentation coach that helps individuals practise and improve their public speaking, interview answers, and pitch delivery. Users record themselves speaking, and EchoPitch analyses vocal patterns, hesitation density, pacing consistency, and body language to provide instant, actionable feedback. Unlike group coaching or Toastmasters, EchoPitch offers private practice — no audience, no judgment, just you and structured feedback.
EchoPitch vs EchoDepth
EchoPitch is our consumer-facing AI presentation coach for individuals — available at echopitch.io. EchoDepth is the underlying enterprise emotion intelligence platform that powers EchoPitch and is licensed separately to businesses for applications like call centre analytics, recruitment screening, and customer experience measurement. If you're an individual looking to improve your presenting skills, you're in the right place. For enterprise EchoDepth enquiries, contact Cavefish.
The MBA revelation
During my MBA at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), I watched dozens of companies come in to present to our cohort. Most were terrible. Not because the presenters weren't smart — they were brilliant — but because they hadn't been taught how to connect with an audience.
My dissertation focused on the ineffectiveness of business presentations. The research was clear: most business communication training doesn't work because it focuses on slides, not storytelling.
A storytelling model that worked
I developed a model for business storytelling based on narrative psychology and tested it with my MBA cohort. We achieved top marks in virtually every presentation assessment.
Word spread. The following year's cohort asked me to teach them. Then the year after. What started as helping classmates became something bigger.
10 years of corporate training
I built a presentation training business and spent the next decade teaching teams at M&S, Barclays, Lloyds, and dozens of other companies. Thousands of professionals. Hundreds of workshops.
The same patterns emerged every time: smart people, important ideas, but crippling anxiety and no structured way to practice. The workshops helped, but real change required ongoing practice — which most people couldn't access.
The birth of EchoPitch
I kept coming back to a question: how do we actually change how people feel about presenting? Not just what they know — how they feel.
The answer was practice with feedback. But human coaches are expensive and scheduling is hard. That's when AI changed everything.
Cavefish was born to build AI tools that genuinely help people. EchoPitch is the first product: 15 years of presentation expertise, available to anyone, anytime, for a fraction of what corporate training costs.
What we believe
Practice beats theory
Reading about presentations doesn't help. Recording yourself and getting feedback does. We focus on doing, not learning.
Anxiety is normal
75% of people fear public speaking. We don't try to eliminate anxiety — we help you perform despite it.
Private practice works
The best place to fail is alone. EchoPitch gives you a judgment-free space to practice until you're ready.
