The problem it solves

Every pitch deck submission means checking whether the email is even real, saving the file somewhere organized, and remembering to reply to the founder. Fake or spam submissions waste your time, and slow replies make your accelerator or fund look unresponsive.

Who it fits

Accelerators, incubators, VC firms, or startup competitions handling pitch deck submissions.

How it works

  1. Starts when a founder submits a pitch deck
  2. Verifies the founder's email is real and not disposable
  3. Saves the pitch deck to an organized Google Drive folder if valid
  4. Generates a summary PDF of the submission
  5. Emails your team and sends the founder a confirmation
What you get

Pitch decks filed and summarized for your team

You get each pitch deck verified, filed in an organized Google Drive folder, and summarized for your team automatically.

What you get

An organized Google Drive archive of valid pitch decks, plus confirmation emails sent automatically.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an email verification service, and Gmail.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
