@stephnass @max_savonin1 Answering the genuine questions about the product for anyone reading this and might be interested : - You upload the pdf file you want as a pitch deck, so you can integrate all branding elements you want just like any other pdf file - Your pitch deck is only sent to the investors you decide to send it to. A unique link is generated for each investor. - You can import and export all the data from and into the OpenVC CRM as CSV files, so you can use the data with any other software

Great job on launching OpenVC Decks, @stephnass! This is such a timely tool for founders looking to streamline their fundraising efforts. The integration with the Fundraising CRM is a game-changer — it’ll simplify the tracking process significantly. Data-driven decisions are crucial, and having those insights automatically pulled into our pipeline is a massive relief. Excited to see how this will shape up in terms of traction and growth. Looking forward to testing it out! Any plans for additional features down the line? Thanks for the hard work, guys!

@shivkodam Keep your money and buy yourself something nice instead :D

Free isn't always better, looks like it could save some money but what about reliability and security, I'd be worried if all my sensitive data is auto shared without my consent

@prorecruiter We monetize with a Premium subscription on our other features (investor outreach, etc). That's how we can keep OpenVC Decks free. And of course, your data isn't shared without your consent.

@prorecruiter No data in shared without your consent, your pitch deck is only sent to the investors you want to send it to.
Ema Elisi
This sounds like a game-changer for founders like us! Would love to know how the analytics compare to DocSend in detail and if there are any limits on the number of decks we can generate? Also, is the integration with the Fundraising CRM seamless for all current users? Great job, @stephnass

@stephnass @ema_elisi Hi Ema, -> The analytics are : who opened your deck, for how long, from which location (based on IP address), on what device and browser (e.g "Chrome on Windows" or "Safari on Iphone"), and what slides they viewed -> You can upload 5 different decks and generate an unlimited amount of unique shareable links for each one -> The integration with the OpenVC CRM is seamless for all users

@stephnass That's really great! I used to track all the people that I've sent to, and it's really a PIA
William Joseph Parker
Congrats, Steph & Lucas, on the launch of OpenVC Decks! 🎉 This is such a game changer for founders looking to simplify their fundraising process. The ability to track analytics directly from the deck links is brilliant for monitoring investor engagement! Plus, integrating seamlessly with the Fundraising CRM will save so much time—no more manual entry! I'm particularly excited about the unlimited deck links feature. It's bound to enhance our outreach and make sharing with potential investors on platforms like X and WhatsApp a breeze. Kudos to the team for recognizing the needs of founders and providing this invaluable tool for free. Can't wait to test it out and see how it all works. Feedback is definitely coming your way! Keep up the great work!

Looks cool. I used Brieflink for quite sometime, but ultimately had to revert back to docsend and drive as the mentioned one gets too slow often. Hope the experience would be smooth with OpenVC Decks.

Love the time viewed feature!

Great product! I've used docsend in the past and it sucked. I remembered how it messed up my deck's formatting and of course, it's not free.
