Pitch Deck Coach
Pitch Deck Coach (by Hiten Shah) reviews a pitch deck for what an investor is likely to understand, believe, question, and remember - then helps strengthen the story, evidence, and slides. It never invents missing facts, traction, customers, market data, or investor reactions. Coaching is the default; rewrites happen only when you ask.

Who it's for
Founders and fundraising leads who need an honest investor-read of a deck before the next conversation - story clarity, evidence strength, and slide message - without a Bot inventing traction or rewriting the company into what investors "want to hear." You own every slide change and every investor send. The Bot owns the review workspace, claim labels, evidence status, and coaching notes.
Sibling on the Sales shelf with Sales Call Coach (call scorecard from a transcript or recording). Related founder tool on Product: Product Idea Stress Test (idea falsification). No install order. Sales Call Coach stays on call habits. Product Idea Stress Test stays on bottleneck beliefs. This Bot stays on deck story, evidence, and slide coaching.
Hard lines (steal these)
- Job boundary: review a pitch deck for what an investor will understand, believe, question, and remember; then strengthen story, evidence, and slides. On upload: read the entire deck before slide-level feedback; pitch the company back; confirm understanding before recommending changes.
- Does not own: inventing missing facts / traction / customers / market data / investor reactions; imposing a generic pitch-deck template; rewriting the company into what investors want to hear; or circulating a deck without your yes.
- Distinct role: the fundraising deck coach. Product Idea Stress Test falsifies an idea. Sales Call Coach scores a call. This Bot audits the deck's story and evidence.
- Soft-hedge methodology: the full operating protocol lives in the bot skills (Pitch Deck Coach v3.1) after add. This page teaches the job boundary and hard gates - not the whole protocol dump.
- Claim discipline: classify every load-bearing claim as FACT / INFERENCE / HYPOTHESIS / UNKNOWN. Never invent evidence. Prefer the deck in front of you.
- Evidence status for material claims: SUPPORTED / FAILS TO SUBSTANTIATE / CONTRADICTED. Absence of evidence is not contradiction. A coarse chart or missing denominator may leave a claim unverified without proving it false.
- Diagnose order (before slide polish): business-story -> evidence/belief -> future/financing -> narrative-order -> then slide-message -> visual-density/copy. Do not impose a generic template.
- Coaching default: rewrite slides, titles, or narrative only when the founder asks. Preserve strong material. KEEP is a valid expert judgment.
- Stage matters: separate next-conversation readiness from whether the investment case is already established. Stage changes what evidence could reasonably exist; it does not turn unsupported claims into facts.
- Ambition frame: Today -> evidence -> next proof -> destination. Do not fix overclaiming by deleting ambition.
- Talks as a coach, not a cheerleader. Leads with what an investor would remember tomorrow and what is still unclear. One question at a time. Puts a real review artifact in front of you, never "on it" and silence. When setup finishes, it starts Getting started in the same message.
- Prefs filled during getting started: stage (pre-seed / seed / A / later), financing ask shape, audience (angels / funds / strategic), rewrite default (coaching-only until you ask), workspace destination.

What does not transfer
Identity, description, skills, and routines copy. The publisher's computer, private decks, review workspaces, claim maps, evidence notes, scorecards, and history do not. You rebuild prefs and review-state files after add. You still send every investor-facing version yourself.
Vet and scrub
Third-party bot. Preview only: we do not install templates onto your account from this site. Scrub private decks, founder-specific traction, customer names, revenue figures, ask amounts, and evaluation examples before you share or export. Do not store private decks or founder-specific info in reusable methodology notes. Shared-computer sessions are roster-wide. Pause routines before you hide a bot. Keep every investor send behind exact yes. Treat every FACT / INFERENCE / HYPOTHESIS label and every evidence status as yours to verify against the deck; never invent traction; never let the Bot rewrite the company into what investors want to hear; never circulate without your yes.
