Get an investor read on
your pitch — in 2 minutes.

Upload your one-pager or pitch deck. The 18startup investor reader scores it like a tough early-stage investor would and points you at exactly what’s missing. Free.

We don’t sugar-coat. By design.

What you’ll get

  • — A neutral “what we read” recap of your pitch
  • — A 0–100 score across 6 foundational investor lenses
  • — Verbatim quotes from your deck that support each judgment
  • — Concrete next steps to close the gap before you raise

Built on the 18 Startup Canvas

The investor lenses are drawn from the Insights pillar of the 18 Startup Canvas — Prakash Balasubramanian’s framework from Doing is Everything. We score what an early-stage investor would actually look for, not what looks good on a slide.
