We are working on a product which we want to patent. I know that if the technology gets public we won't be able to get a patent for it. However, as a startup, we need to be able to pitch to investors and discuss some details of our product. What do we need to do to not risk our product's patentability?

In order to protect your efforts, a patent application should be filed before making it (potentially) public. Putting an NDA in place might be fine - as long as it is not broken...
A patent protects an Invention - not a particular product. You can file a patent application before you have finished your product. As time progresses more inventions may make their way into the product.
Find an experienced patent attorney who is accessible and in whom you trust. He/she can help to find a strategy that suits you best and, thereafter, prepare and file the patent application, if and when necessary.
