Honest, Scottish feedback
on your pitch deck... before an investor rejects it.

Absolutely, we want you to succeed. Whilst the tone has a bit of "personality," there is true positive desire for you to succeed, and we really hope the advice helps you.

Yes, genuinely, no catch. Every review is free, and there's no card required to get started. If you ever want a real investor's eyes on a deck too, that might be available as an optional paid add-on down the line, but it's entirely separate from the core free service, which stays free. The only thing we ever ask for beyond that is a pint, and only after you've actually raised money or landed a contract. If that never happens, you owe us nothing, ever. This is our way of giving back. If we ever look at making money beyond that, it'll be through sponsorship or from investors paying for curated access, never by charging founders for feedback.

This started as a personal thing: founders would email me a deck, and I'd give blunt, honest feedback back, for free (well, a pint if it worked out). I've been lucky enough to raise millions myself over the years, but it was exceptionally hard, and one of the things I hated most was not getting feedback when I got turned down, or when I did get feedback, it usually wasn't the real reason. Investors are busy, and telling a founder the unvarnished truth takes time they don't always have. I wanted founders to get that honesty somewhere, before it costs them a real meeting. This is that same thing, just able to help more people at once.

Your deck is used only to generate your review. It's never shared with anyone, never sold, and never used to train any model, unless you choose to share it. If you want to, you can opt in to have your deck shown to our approved investors, in the hope of actually getting investment, but that only happens if you explicitly say yes. Nothing happens with your deck without you actively choosing it. It's stored securely for a limited period so you can revisit your results, and you can delete it yourself at any time.

Not without your consent, your data is safe. When you are ready, you can then share with investors, but only if you want, otherwise it stays safe.

The first pass is AI, reviewing each slide cold, the way a real investor would flick through a deck live. We're upfront about that; we're not pretending otherwise. We're exploring adding real human review too, possibly as a paid option down the line, and we're also seeing whether some investors would be willing to give their time for free. Either way, nothing like that replaces the free AI review, it's just an extra layer if you want it.

Honestly, it's because investors often don't tell you the real reason they passed, and we want to give you that insight so you can actually work around it before you're in the room. When this started as an email thing, I swore because it was a bit of a joke, I was doing it for free (well, a pint), so why not have a laugh with it. Over time I realised being that direct, swearing included, actually gave people the confidence to hear it straight, and that's exactly what improves a deck before it ever reaches a real investor.

Hopefully not much. I'm personally committed to covering a few thousand pounds of this altruistically, because I genuinely believe it can help people raise. If it starts to get real traction, I'll look at sponsorship to help cover the costs rather than ever charging founders. If you're an investor or a company interested in sponsoring Pitch Bitch, get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.

That's completely fine. It's one blunt opinion, not a verdict on your company. Take what's useful, ignore what isn't, and feel free to revise and run it again. Founders often come back after fixing a couple of things and get a noticeably better result.
