Amplify your VC Outreach

At DocSend, we‘ve spent years digging into what makes a good pitch deck. We look at millions of data points around what decks lead to first meetings and term sheets. Our research is publicly available as part of the DocSend Startup Index.

We are now putting this research to work. If you’re a founder, you can use the DocSend Fundraising Network (DFN), a complimentary service where we connect founders raising capital to committed VC funds who can issue term sheets (i.e. lead your round).

The process to apply is simple. If you’re raising a Pre-seed, Seed, or Series A round, send us a DocSend link to your pitch deck by following these steps. Our pitch deck analysis team will review your deck for free and provide data-driven feedback. We’ll then feature your deck in our DocSend deal flow repository where vetted investors can request to connect with you. Once a request is made, you can follow up directly with the VC to set up a meeting.

Thanks to the DocSend Fundraising Network’s data-driven framework, they can identify deals that would be a potential fit for us and we can process them like a warm introduction. And it works! They surfaced an amazing opportunity for us, outside of our own network, which we offered to invest in.

Get Deal Flow Vetted by DocSend

Each week, we’ll be adding decks to our Deal Flow Repository, where you can filter across sector, round, and geography.

With just one click, you can request intros with the founders that you’re interested in. And the best part is that the whole process happens via email.

If you are interested in joining and getting access to our deal flow, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll follow up with more information.

This is the best intros process I’ve seen. Congrats again you guys for building DFN. This is a game-changer for black and brown founders such as us here looking to raise our first round!

Thanks for the analysis and deck feedback, we just uploaded the newest version that addresses your raised points. We’ve been receiving lots of good feedback and have been meeting investors non stop.

The feedback email was so detailed, that I could tell it wasn’t automated and someone really reviewed the deck. It was very data-driven and not opinionated.

Being in South FL, there isn’t a network of VCs and trying to build the relationship on my own is a lengthy process. This is beyond a valuable service for people outside startup hubs – it opens up the access pool.

A great fit, thank you! It took a while for us to arrange a first meeting, but they genuinely seem interested in our startup. I appreciate your help. DocSend consistently surprises me with the level of features that help founders. Not only its core features, the DocSend Fundraising Network really helped me with my first funding round.

I used the pitch deck analysis for deck validation – helped get consensus on where my pitch deck was after receiving feedback from many other biased sources since I started fundraising.

VCs might look at the market and give advice on competitors, while DocSend gives feedback on slides and structure – this is the value. I received intros to 7-8 legitimate investors.
