A lot of companies don't get a good look from investors because they don't understand investor expectations. "Negative signals" kill pitches. It might be a sign that the system works – but I suspect it's an inefficiency. Not every company has access to the kind of advice that YC and other accelerators provide.
The underlying principle is that the bulk of pitch mistakes are common. So Deck.vc reviewers can have a checklist of the most common recommendations and generate the bulk of the review really efficiently. That's what makes it possible to price this like a product, instead of consulting.
My goal is for Deck.vc to be of value to every founder who goes out to raise. Feedback greatly appreciated.
Case studies might help show the value you provide, in addition to the social proof. Would also be interesting to include a quote by a VC.
I'm still working on how to present the credibility of the team. I've avoided listing everybody on the site thus far because people's availability varies.
I can absolutely get a quote from a VC (or two...). That's a great suggestion. I'm also in the process of adding logos to the site of funds who've invested in companies that we've helped.
Were the team members the main analyst on any notable investments? Bc you could list those companies to show they recognize value. Or maybe the amount of money raised by companies those analysts have reviewed? Not sure if that's how the analysis works, where the analyst is linked to a specific company.
