Pitchgrade

PitchGrade is an AI platform that reviews startup pitch decks and layers in financial research tools for founders and investors. Users upload a deck as a PDF, PPTX, or text, and the AI scores it across dimensions such as clarity, completeness, and the strength of the business, market, and team sections, then returns slide-by-slide feedback and suggestions. The platform also compares a deck against the stated preferences of more than 20 well-known investors, including Sequoia, a16z, and Y Combinator, and can match founders to a target investor profile. Beyond deck review, PitchGrade includes a slide generator that creates presentation drafts from a text prompt across pitch decks, sales decks, and other formats in more than 180 languages, plus a research agent that pulls live financial data, SEC filings, and peer comparisons for up to four companies at once. It reports having reviewed more than 10,000 decks and analyzed over 4,000 companies. The tool is aimed at startup founders preparing to raise funding, as well as analysts researching companies. One limitation: PitchGrade's site does not disclose how its scoring model was trained or validated, so its investability score should be treated as a directional signal rather than a guarantee of investor interest.
