Open an investor with a linked pitch, click "Pre-meeting brief" and get a printable one-pager: warm-up question built around their latest deal, the 5 questions they're most likely to ask, the 3 weak spots in your pitch they'll probe, ask calibration vs their typical check size, comparable bets in their portfolio, and outreach next step. When you log a meeting_scheduled outcome, the brief auto-generates in the background.
Learn moreModel who owns what, then layer up to 5 future rounds on top to see exactly how dilution lands. Standard pre-money option-pool shuffle math. Live recompute as you type: every founder, investor, and option pool gets shares + percentages at each stage. Available in personal accounts and team workspaces.
Learn moreFind out which slides investors actually read. The shared deck viewer now records dwell time per slide and reports it back: average time on each slide, where viewers drop off, and what share reach the end. Surfaces on the share page beneath each deck: "12 viewers · avg 28s/slide · drop-off at Traction · 67% reached the end."
Learn moreNew card on the home dashboard shows status of the four downstream tools (Market Analysis, Competitor Analysis, Financial Projections, Grant Applications) for your most recent pitch. One click jumps you straight into the latest record or starts a new one with the pitch already attached.
Learn moreRead your pitch through one specific investor's lens. Pulls their inferred thesis, recent deals, lead partners, and outreach policy, then tells you what will resonate, what will get pushback, the sharpest framing for that firm, and the right outreach angle. Available from the investor drawer when a pitch is selected.
Learn moreYour pipeline now lives on the home dashboard. Funnel counts (added → contacted → in process → term sheet → invested), top stale follow-ups ranked by urgency, recent outcomes with EUR amounts on invested rows, and a recommended investors section pulling from your latest targeting session. Renders only when you have investor activity.
Learn moreNew Founder tier at €59/mo (or €590/yr) for active fundraisers: unlimited investor database access, AI targeting, per-investor lens, outcome tracking, and pipeline analytics. Plus a one-time €299 Lifetime Pass that unlocks Founder-tier access for 6 months, no recurring billing. Existing Pro subscribers keep their current plan and price.
Learn moreWhen you log a passed, invested, term sheet, or meeting outcome, you can now pick a categorical reason: sector mismatch, traction, team concerns, ghosted, lead investor, warm intro, and more. Pass reasons are required so the data stays clean. Foundation for cross-founder benchmarks per investor.
Learn moreWhen you create a public deck, you can now check 'Allow search engines' to make it indexable. Off by default, only enable for decks you want permanently public. Gated decks (password or email) stay noindex regardless.
Learn moreWork on pitch decks together with your team. The Organization plan supports up to 20 members with shared workspaces, admin controls, and per-member usage tracking. Built for accelerators, VC programs, and startup teams.
Learn moreThe investor database has grown from 950 to over 1,100 funds, accelerators, and angel networks. Now includes global investors beyond Europe: US growth funds, corporate VCs, university-linked funds, and government-backed programs.

Audited and enriched data across 18 countries covering check sizes, fund sizes, portfolio highlights, and sector focus.
Learn moreSet access control when creating a shareable deck. Choose public, password protected, or email gated directly from the creation form. Password-protected decks hash credentials server-side. Email-gated decks collect viewer emails before granting access. View tracking is included for all deck types.
Learn moreCreate a shareable link to a visual pitch deck built from your narrative. Choose compact, standard, or full templates, pick which sections to include, and share a link with investors. Section-specific layouts render traction as metric cards, team as member grids, and financials as structured data. Decks include keyboard navigation, swipe support, fullscreen mode, and password or email gating for access control.
Learn moreBlog posts now generate branded preview images when shared on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Slack. Each card shows the post title, description, category, and author instead of a generic SVG.
Learn moreYou can now search across all your pitches, market analyses, financial projections, and investors from anywhere in the app. Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) to open the command palette, type to search, or jump to any section instantly.
Learn moreThe investor directory now includes over 1,250 venture capital firms, up from 950. New additions include top-tier US funds (Sequoia, a16z, Benchmark, Founders Fund), major European VCs (Atomico, Partech, Speedinvest), corporate venture arms (Porsche Ventures, SAP.iO, Neva SGR, BASF Venture Capital), Italian VCs (P101, CDP Venture Capital, United Ventures), Spanish investors (Seaya, Kibo, JME, Nauta Capital), Nordic seed funds (byFounders, PreSeed Ventures), CEE specialists (Credo Ventures, PortfoLion, OTB Ventures, Inovo, LAUNCHub), Turkish VCs (212, Bek Ventures, Revo Capital), Balkan VCs (South Central Ventures, Eleven Ventures, Fil Rouge Capital), Portuguese VCs (Indico Capital, Armilar, Portugal Ventures), Irish VCs (Atlantic Bridge, Frontline, ACT Venture Capital), sector specialists (Hiro Capital, Pi Labs, Fifth Wall, Five Seasons Ventures), Web3 funds (Greenfield Capital, Fabric Ventures), climate/impact funds (2150, Giant Ventures, SET Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Carbon13), MENA/Africa VCs (Norrsken22, Algebra Ventures, BECO Capital, Wamda Capital, Flat6Labs), and European life science specialists (Andera Partners, LSP, Kurma Partners, Medicxi, Abingworth). Existing investor profiles have also been enriched with fund sizes, check size ranges, portfolio highlights, and investment theses.
Learn moreAI analysis scores are now more granular (5-point scale instead of 3), so you get clearer signal on what's strong and what needs work. Suggestions no longer fabricate statistics - they use placeholders you fill in with your real numbers. Verbose penalties are now section-aware (longer sections like Team and Financials get more room). After re-analyzing a section, you'll see how many points you gained or lost. Batch analysis shows "Analyzing 3 of 8..." progress. Your "Review issues" panel now persists across page reloads.
Each "Fix this first" suggestion now has an "Apply fix" button that replaces only the matched phrase, not the entire section. The full rewrite button has been renamed to "Rewrite entire section" with a warning that it replaces all content. A session counter shows how many analyses you have run, so you can track your AI usage.
Reframed the entire pitch analysis page from deficit-focused ("Needs work", "Critical") to progress-focused ("Building momentum", "Up next"). Lower scores now show amber and blue tones instead of red, which is reserved for truly empty sections. Section labels guide you toward action: "Start here" and "Up next" replace "Critical" and "Needs work". The sidebar highlights your next steps instead of listing failures. Same honest scoring, better motivation.
The AI analysis now properly supports solo founders, especially at angel and pre-seed stages. Solo founders with strong domain expertise, advisory boards, and execution speed (including AI-assisted/vibe-coded products) are no longer penalized on team structure. At angel stage, solo founders are fully accepted. At pre-seed, the system credits solo execution but notes that investors want to see a co-founder pipeline. At seed stage, solo founder is flagged as a concern unless traction is exceptional. New examples and checklist guidance help solo founders write stronger team sections.
New YC Archive lets you explore the complete database of Y Combinator-funded companies. Search by name or description, filter by industry, tags, status (active, acquired, public), or batch. See detailed company cards with location, team size, funding stage, hiring status, and expandable descriptions. Find inspiration, discover competitors, or research successful companies in your space.
Learn moreReorganized the sidebar to help you find things faster. Investor-related tools (database, AI matching, updates) are now grouped under a single Investors entry. Research and tools sections have clearer names. Navigation went from 20+ items to about 14, so you spend less time looking for features and more time using them.
New toggle on the VC analysis page lets you switch between two feedback modes. Coach mode (the new default) gives constructive, improvement-focused feedback that leads with what works and suggests specific next steps. Brutal VC mode gives the raw, unfiltered investor perspective with no sugar-coating. Your preference is saved automatically.
Search 5,600+ Y Combinator-funded companies to find competitors and validate your market. The new YC Competitor Finder in your competitor analysis lets you search by name, description, or industry. YC Market Validation shows how many YC companies operate in your space, batch trends, and popular tags. Use it to benchmark against the best or find competitors you missed.

Learn moreCompletely redesigned competitor analysis with a streamlined 4-step wizard. AI now discovers 5 key competitors with per-competitor differentiation and source URLs. No more manual 2x2 positioning - the AI handles it for you.

New Moonshot mode available! Transform your startup content to be bold, clear, and impossible for investors to ignore with concrete reasons, expansion hints, and inevitable market-win endings.
Bug with OpenAI API changes was fixed. This caused lag on narrative debugger. It should now work faster again.
Fixed a bug with ask section analysis, it was sloppy and giving a good score even when funding terms were not mentioned in detail.
