I have never pitched a VC but this was surprising. A pitch that requires a specific person who hasn't yet been hired? What if the person is unavailable? This seems to be misleading specificity.

Somewhat common in pitches from seasoned entrepreneurs. It shows they've thought things through, have identified specific individuals they believe they should attempt to onboard post-funding, and are operating as though they actually know what they're going to do right after they get the giant check.
