Listen carefully. Honesty is your ONLY strategy here. Walking into a pitch with a dead project is professional suicide. Investors smell desperation and dishonesty from a mile away. You have two ethical choices: 1. Withdraw from the pitch 2. Pivot your pitch to explain exactly why you abandoned the original idea, demonstrating your critical thinking and adaptability. Pro tip: Investors respect founders who can ruthlessly evaluate and kill an unviable concept more than those who cling to a failing idea.
