They know what investors will say before they say it. That's not insider access. It's preparation.
PitchVault gives you the same framework investors use, applied to your deck, before the first meeting.
Free to start · No credit card needed · Deck stays private by default
Most founders send their deck to their warmest leads before it's ready. By the time the deck is investor-grade, those contacts have already passed. Those relationships don't reset.
The average investor takes 2 to 4 weeks to pass after receiving a deck. Multiply that across 10 investors and a fixable deck has cost you a quarter. Not a bad meeting. A quarter.
The most common rejection emails contain zero useful information. You cannot fix what you don't know is broken. PitchVault tells you before they do.
Investors who sense uncertainty price it in. A deck with unaddressed gaps signals risk even when the business doesn't have any. Founders with clean scores get better conversations. Better conversations lead to better terms.
Not because their business was wrong. Because the deck never made the case clearly enough for an investor to say yes.

🇯🇵Deck in Japanese, Mandarin, or Arabic? PitchVault reads it →Every section is scored against stage- and sector-specific criteria — the same lens a VC uses at your stage. Not encouragement. The honest read.
VaultScore™ is always free. On Pro, VaultMoat™, VaultRisk™, and VaultOps™ are available immediately — no score gate to clear first. Each score maps to a lens investors use to evaluate deals. Clear all four lens thresholds and Lens 5 (Investor Feed) unlocks, putting your profile in front of active investors browsing by stage and sector.
Each analysis shows exactly what to fix and in what order. Re-run after improvements and track your progress. Score history is visible to investors — a deck that moved from 54 to 89 is a stronger signal than a 75 that never changed.
Opt in and your viability profile enters PitchVault's active investor network — angels, pre-seed funds, and institutional seed investors browsing deal flow by stage and sector. When they see a profile that matches what they're looking for, they send a direct intro request through the platform. You've answered their questions before they ask.
Active network of angels, pre-seed funds and seed investors
Investors filter by stage, sector and score profile
Direct intro requests — no cold outreach, no intermediary
You decide who to respond to
Every analysis you run on PitchVault builds toward the same four-dimension package investors use to screen deals. This is not a feedback loop — it's a preparation system for the exact questions you'll face.
Run your deck analysis
Identify and stress-test your moat
Surface and close your risk gaps
Sharpen your operational story
When you opt in, investors see all four answers — before they decide whether to request an intro.
A single pass doesn't mean the business is broken. It usually means one thing wasn't clear enough at the right moment. The founders who raise iterate fast. They know exactly what changed between a 63 and a 72, and why it moved the needle with investors. That's what the score history is for.
What works at pre-seed will fail at Series A. Investors at each stage weight criteria differently — a pre-seed fund bets on the founder story and market thesis; a Series A fund expects repeatable traction, NRR, and a proven GTM. The same deck that raised your first round will cost you the next one.
Most founders don't realise their deck has drifted out of calibration until they're in the room and it's too late. By the time an investor passes, the feedback is vague, the meeting is over, and you're guessing what to fix.
This is built for continuous iteration — not a one-time check. Every time you refine your deck and re-upload, you get a fresh score calibrated to your current stage, a comparison against your previous version, and a ranked action plan for what to fix next. Fundraising is a process. Your deck should evolve with it.
Founder story · Market thesis · Vision
“Does the problem matter? Does this team have the right to win?”
Early traction · Unit economics · Product-market fit signals
“Is there evidence this is working? Can you acquire customers efficiently?”
Repeatable GTM · NRR · Scalable model
“Is the growth engine proven? Can you triple revenue with this funding?”
Category leadership · Margin expansion · Moat
“Do you own the category? Is the business model compounding?”
Your score re-calibrates every time you upload — so your feedback always reflects where you are, not where you were.
Every report includes these outputs — giving you the clearest picture of where your deck stands and exactly what investors will see when you opt in to the leaderboard.
Every section scored on a 10-point scale against stage-specific benchmarks. You know exactly what an investor will flag before you're in the room.
What could destroy this company before it reaches exit? A 0–100 downside exposure score across 12 stage-calibrated risk dimensions. Know what investors will surface in diligence — before they do.
Can this company defend its position long enough to compound? Moat type, compounding trajectory, and the stress-test result. Know whether your defensibility claim holds before slide 10.
Every issue classified as Deal-breaker, Significant, or Fixable — sorted so the most dangerous gaps appear first. Paired with a ranked list of 3–5 specific actions that will move your score and your odds.
On every slide, PitchVault surfaces the exact question a VC would ask based on what's missing or unclear — so you can prepare your answer before you're in the room. Not generic. Specific to your deck.
PitchVault identifies your best-fit investor type based on your score profile — not just the stage you selected. If your deck signals a different stage than you claim, it flags the mismatch and the milestones to close the gap.
Where do you stand against everyone else? Your score percentile against all founders at your stage and sector. Score trend over time. Priority gaps ranked by investor impact. Benchmarks so you know what "ready" looks like.
Can this team actually execute the plan they're pitching? Operational execution scored across seven dimensions calibrated to your stage — binding constraint clarity, scaling fragility, external dependency exposure, key-person risk, capital-to-throughput efficiency, management depth, and operational repeatability.

Every slide gets a score, a written assessment, concrete fixes, and the exact question a VC would ask in the room.
The 22% MoM ARR growth combined with 118% NRR is rarely seen together — each metric alone is a strong signal, together they indicate genuine product-market fit. Main gap: cohort percentages aren't called out numerically.
This isn't a generic checklist. The analysis applies a stage-appropriate rubric — what matters to a Seed investor is not the same bar as a Series A fund. Your sector calibrates the benchmarks: SaaS NRR thresholds differ from Biotech clinical milestones. The slide-by-slide feedback references your actual content, not placeholder advice. If something is good, it says so. If it would kill a deal, it says that too.
Each section is scored out of 10 and interpreted in context for your funding stage — early-stage decks emphasize team and insight; growth-stage decks emphasize traction and GTM. The composite reflects what investors at your stage actually look for.

We ran our deck through PitchVault ahead of an investor meeting. The feedback was actionable, written in clear language from an investor's perspective — not generic AI output. We're incorporating it into the deck right now.
It mentioned several parts that our mentors pointed out during our accelerator program. Overall it gives really useful feedback from an investor's stance — pretty impressive.
I ran Color Reality through PitchVault before approaching Western investors. It flagged exactly where our market framing wasn't landing — things that weren't obvious to us but would have cost us in a real meeting. One round of changes and the score reached Ready to Pitch.
Feedback that sounds encouraging and feedback that reflects how investors actually decide are not the same thing.
ChatGPT is optimised to sound helpful. PitchVault is built to surface what investors actually see.
PitchVault's investor network includes angels, pre-seed funds, and institutional seed investors who browse opted-in founders by stage and sector. They're not browsing a pitch — they're reviewing a pre-built intelligence package: four scores, a trajectory, and a one-line viability verdict. When there's a genuine match, they send an intro request directly through the platform.
Run your analysis and build four investor scores. Iterate until the scores reflect a deck that can stand up to investor scrutiny. Your score history is part of the profile investors see.
Opt in and your profile — four scores, trajectory, and a one-line viability verdict — is visible to PitchVault's active community of angels and funds. They filter by stage, sector, and score profile to find founders worth reaching out to.
When an investor in the network sees a match, they send a request directly through PitchVault. You're notified by email. You decide who to respond to — no pressure, no intermediary.
Score trajectory is visible. A deck that improved signals more than a static score.
Your deck stays private — investors see scores, not slides, until you choose to share
