For 15 years in Silicon Valley, I've been on both sides of the fundraising table—raising capital for startups and venture funds alike. I've helped early-stage founders craft compelling narratives that resonate with investors, and I've worked with VCs and LPs to evaluate pitches and allocate capital. This dual perspective has given me a rare understanding of what makes a pitch succeed—or fail.
That's why I created this service: to give founders fast, actionable, investor-grade feedback. You'll get the exact questions a VC will ask, plus clear, tactical fixes to ensure your story lands. My goal is simple: to help you protect your first impression, avoid costly mistakes, and walk into every investor meeting prepared, confident, and ready to close.

Fundraising Is Brutal
You've got a limited runway, a crowded market, and one shot to make the right impression.
- TimeMost founders spend weeks perfecting their product and barely any time crafting the story that sells it.
- EnergyPitch decks fail to connect, vague feedback from investors, and endless cycles of wasted intros. Momentum stalls, confidence erodes, and the fundraising clock keeps ticking.
- MoneyInvestors don’t just back great products—they back great stories. And if your pitch doesn’t hit the mark, you’re leaving money on the table.

FAQs
How fast will I get my feedback?
You'll receive your detailed review within 24 hours of submission and payment. Most reviews are delivered within 12-18 hours.
Is this just generic advice?
No. Every review is custom-written for your specific deck, industry, and stage. I analyze your exact slides and provide targeted feedback based on what VCs in your space actually care about.
Who does the review?
I personally review every deck. With 15 years on both sides of fundraising, I know exactly what investors look for and the common mistakes that kill deals.
What stage of startup is this for?
This works best for pre-seed through Series A companies actively fundraising or preparing to fundraise. If you have a deck and need funding, this will help.
What if I don't have a deck yet?
This service is specifically for reviewing existing pitch decks. If you need help creating your first deck, I recommend starting with a basic template and then using this service to refine it.
Yes. If you’re short on time or just want a VC‑grade result, I’ll build your investor‑ready deck in 7–10 days. You will get the story aligned with VCs ask in diligence and tighten metrics, use of funds, and GTM.
