What does Pitch Ready do?

It scores your VC pitch deck against the dimensions investors actually judge: clarity, narrative, the problem, the demo, market sizing, business model, traction, team, the ask, competition, design, and Q&A readiness. You get a readiness verdict, the deal-breakers to fix first, and your top fixes in order. A women’s-health mode adds adoption, reimbursement pathway, advisory board, and non-dilutive funding checks.

Does it use AI or read my deck?

No. You answer a short rubric and the scoring runs deterministically in your browser, so you get the same structured read every time. Your answers never leave your device. The only thing that leaves is your email, and only if you choose to download the PDF report.

First-time founders raising pre-seed or seed capital, and anyone preparing a deck for investors. The women’s-health mode is tuned for clinical and life-science founders.

Women's health / life-science mode

Adds adoption, reimbursement, advisory board, and non-dilutive funding checks.

Can a stranger tell what your product does within the first 15 seconds?

Lead with what it is and who it is for, before the mission, the market, or the team.

Does the deck tell one story, not a pile of bullet points?

Big opportunity, you have cracked how to win it, the team to back, it is working, here is what you need.

Is the problem framed as the customer feels it, not as background?

Open with the human pain and its size, not the mechanism or the literature.

Do you show the product, not just describe it?

A demo or a real screen beats a description. A demo is the thing itself, not a description of it.

Is the market sized as TAM/SAM/SOM with sources, and no "1% of a huge market"?

Investors care that you understand the market, not that you can multiply a big number by a small one.

Does the business model show specific prices, fees, and tiers?

Clear price points, a fee structure, and how pricing maps to revenue goals.

Is the proof real, with sourced numbers (users, pilots, LOIs, revenue)?

Roughly 60% of funded pre-seed and 75% of seed decks showed demonstrable traction.

Is it clear why this team can pull it off, and shown early enough?

Why this team, plus the hires you will need in year one versus year two.

Is the ask an exact number with an instrument and use of funds?

"$1.8M on a SAFE," not "between $1.5M and $2M."

Is competition named honestly and differentiated, not dismissed?

"No competition" reads as missing research. Do not trash competitors either.

Is the deck tight: about 10 slides, statement headings, no walls of text?

No more than a quarter of slides should be mostly text; aim for under 100 words a slide.

Are you prepared for the hard investor questions?

Real competition, who needs this most, your next proof point, the five-year vision, what you want in an investor.
