## About Pitchroom

Pitchroom is one place for the whole raise instead of a spreadsheet, a data-room tool, and a dozen browser tabs. Founders find and vet the right investors, share their pitch deck with page-by-page analytics, run the round as a pipeline, and host a secure, branded data room for due diligence. Founders often adopt Pitchroom as a DocSend alternative that covers the entire raise instead of only deck tracking.

Pitchroom also ships a large free educational library: a 175+ term startup dictionary, a step-by-step pitching guide, and slide-by-slide pitch deck guidance.

Built by founders who have raised for 20 years, usually while running a company at the same time. Operated by Pitchroom ApS, a Danish company.

## Core features

- Pitch deck sharing: share decks as tracked links with page-by-page analytics (time per slide, how far each viewer got, return visits) and live open alerts. Upload a PDF or PowerPoint deck, or a video pitch as MP4. More: https://www.pitchroom.net/platform/pitch-deck-sharing
- Sharing controls: email gate, password, dynamic watermarking, downloads on or off, access expiry, and one-click revocation, all per deck. More: https://www.pitchroom.net/platform/pitch-deck-sharing
- Investor Smart Match: AI scores the entire investor database against your company profile and surfaces the 15 best-fit investors, each with a reason and a caveat. More: https://www.pitchroom.net/platform/investor-smart-match
- Reverse Due Diligence (investor reports): an honest, sourced fit report on any investor, with a clear verdict and a transparent fit score, so you know whether to pitch them and how. More: https://www.pitchroom.net/platform/investor-reverse-due-diligence
- Investor Intelligence: a database of 20,000+ investors filterable by stage, sector, geography, and check size, plus a fundraising CRM to track every conversation. More: https://www.pitchroom.net/platform/investor-intelligence
- Fundraising CRM organisation: per-investor notes, tasks with due dates and reminders, and custom tags and classifications (Tier 1, Strategic, Warm Intro) so nothing slips months into a round
- Funding Status: a live round view (target vs committed vs soft-circled vs in-process per investor), round velocity, and export-ready updates for board and investor reporting
- Funding Chance: an engagement-weighted probability score per investor, built from deck views, time per slide, and return visits, with prioritised outreach recommendations
- After "no": log rejection reasons, schedule re-approaches on each investor's cadence, and surface the most common objections across your pipeline to sharpen the pitch
- Fundraising rounds: a single workspace per raise with your terms, a drag-and-drop investor pipeline, committed vs indicated vs target tracking, and probability-weighted progress. More: https://www.pitchroom.net/platform/run-fundraising-round

## AI in Pitchroom

Overview page: https://www.pitchroom.net/ai-fundraising
EU AI Act statement: https://www.pitchroom.net/ai-act

Pitchroom applies AI at seven points in a fundraise. The AI drafts, scores and researches; the founder approves and sends every outbound action.

- Prepare: scores your pitch deck against what investors expect at your stage, and provides data room checklists built for early and late stage rounds
- Target: Investor Smart Match scores 20,000+ investors on thesis, stage, geography and check size, returning a top-15 shortlist with a 0-100 fit score, a reason and a caveat per match
- Research: Reverse Due Diligence researches a fund from public sources, verifies the claims, and scores fit 0-100 on stage, geography, sector, ticket size and thesis, returning a verdict, competitor overlap, terms and process, with every material claim sourced and unknowns reported as unknown
- Reach out: drafts outreach personalised from real investor context and times the follow-ups. Outreach campaigns run a sequence of mail-out steps at intervals you set, starting only once you add an investor to the campaign
- Read the room: turns deck engagement (time per slide, completion, return visits) into interest signals and an engagement-weighted funding-chance score per investor
- Non-dilutive (beta): matches the company profile to grants, accelerators and soft funding sources
- Momentum (beta): drafts investor updates from KPIs and pipeline

## Common questions

Q: What is Pitchroom?
A: One platform to run your whole raise: share your deck with analytics, find and vet investors, manage your round, and run diligence in a branded data room.

Q: How is Pitchroom different from DocSend or just sending a PDF?
A: A tracked deck link is only the start. Pitchroom adds the rest of the raise: a database of 20,000+ investors, Smart Match to find the right ones, sourced fit reports before you pitch, a fundraising CRM, and a data room for diligence. A PDF tells you nothing; a deck-sharing tool tells you who opened it; Pitchroom tells you who to send it to and what to do next.

Q: Is my deck confidential?
A: Yes, and you stay in control. Gate any link behind an email or password, apply a dynamic watermark, set an expiry, block downloads, or revoke access in one click. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in the EU, and GDPR compliant.

Q: What does it cost?
A: The Free plan is EUR 0 with full core features, your whole team, and no time limit. Startup is EUR 25 per month and Scaleup is EUR 100 per month, adding investor leads, advanced analytics, and your data room. Annual billing saves 20 percent, and you can cancel any time.

Q: How fast can I get going?
A: Upload a deck and share a tracked link in under a minute. A branded data room takes only a few minutes more.

Q: Who is Pitchroom for?
A: Founders running a raise, plus the VCs, angel networks, and family offices on the other side of the table.
