Meet Pitchwise: A Fundraising and Diligence Platform Built for the Way Founders Actually Raise

Hey Founder! 👋

Fundraising is rarely linear or as structured as blog posts and playbooks make it seem. You send your deck to thirty investors; a handful open it, a few reply, one takes a call… and then silence. Through it all, you’re forced to make decisions with very little visibility into what’s actually happening: did they actually read it, who’s genuinely interested, and who’s just being polite? Pitchwise exists to remove that fog.

What is Pitchwise

Pitchwise is a fundraising and Virtual Data Room platform that gives you visibility, control, and infrastructure for your entire capital raise, diligence, and high-stakes document sharing. At its core, it's a secure way to share your pitch deck, one-pager or other due diligence materials as single files or a Data Room and track engagement signals – who’s looking at what, slide-level analytics, return visits and forwards.

But Pitchwise goes beyond just tracking. You have full control over who and how your documents are accessed with gated links, email verification, allow/block lists, link expiry and download prevention. You can fully brand how your documents are viewed and instantly revoke access when it’s no longer required. Choose from our library of highly curated resources – pitch deck templates, investor lists, practical guides, podcasts with experienced founders and investors – for a quick start. 

On a practical level, Pitchwise is a platform that startup teams use to:

• Send decks and Data Rooms as secure, branded links that stay current. No more sending new attachments after every update.
• See who opens what, how often, and what they focus on. Organise fundraising and other diligence materials in well-structured Data Rooms. 
• Take control over access to your documents with email gate/verification, allow/block list, link expiry and download prevention.
• Understand what drives investor intent with slide-level analytics and follow up with precision.  
• Make better business and fundraising decisions with access to 50+ startup resources, including pitch deck templates, guides and investor lists

Basically, Pitchwise is your all-in-one fundraising infrastructure.

How Pitchwise Works: Pitch decks and One-pagers

Getting Started: Sign up in two quick steps. Upload your deck and generate your branded link in 60 seconds. Share the link to 2–5 investors or advisors and immediately gain visibility into how they engage with your deck. You can also control how investors access your deck: requiring email verification before viewing and disabling downloads. You maintain complete control over your most important asset throughout the fundraising process.

Every deck visit is tracked: You see who viewed it, how many times, where they're located, and how long they spent on each slide. Real-time notifications tell you when someone opens your deck. When an investor from Sequoia spends eight minutes on your traction slide, you know exactly what matters to them. When someone from another fund opens it and closes it after 9 seconds, you know how best to follow up.

When investors forward your deck—and they will: Pitchwise automatically captures the new viewer's email and tracks their engagement. Your original contact shares it with two partners. Both partners review it. You now have three leads from one share, complete with engagement data on all three people.

Here's the game-changer: You can update your deck anytime, and everyone with your link sees the latest version automatically. No more "sorry, here's the updated deck" emails. No more version confusion about which file an investor is reviewing. Just one source of truth that evolves as your numbers improve.

You can add calls to action directly into your deck: Enable meeting scheduling, and investors can book time with you without opening their email client. You can also allow investors to message you directly from your deck inside Pitchwise. Together, these features remove friction at every step of the fundraising process.

How Pitchwise Data Rooms work

Most deals don't die at the pitch stage; they die during due diligence, when investors start asking for your financials, legal docs, contracts, and cap table. This is where founders typically scramble to organise materials scattered across email attachments, One Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive folders, sharing everything via a generic link with no access control and zero visibility into what happens next.

Pitchwise data rooms solve this completely.

When an investor moves past your pitch and asks for due diligence materials, you can create a dedicated data room. You organise everything into logical folders—Overview, Fundraising, Financials, Product, Traction & Metrics, Customers & Market, Legal, Team, Press & Media—and share one secure branded link. 

Once this is done, every interaction with your data room is tracked in detail. You see exactly which investor viewed which documents, when they accessed them, how long they spent reviewing each file, and whether they downloaded anything.

When an investor from Sweden opens your financial model at 2 am and spends forty minutes reviewing it, you get a real-time notification. When they come back three days later and go straight to your cap table, you know due diligence is getting serious. When someone visits four times and spends over 4 minutes total across multiple documents, that's a signal to prioritise that relationship.

Now, data rooms aren’t just about tracking; they’re about control. Pitchwise gives you granular permissions over who can access your materials and how: you can require emails for access, enforce email verification with one-time passcodes, or only grant access to an allow-list of specific addresses for sensitive stages of diligence. You can also disable downloads, set link expiry, and revoke access instantly when conversations end or documents change.

On top of that, built-in calls to action like meeting scheduling and messaging let investors book time or ask questions directly from the data room, reducing friction at the exact moment interest is highest.

Pitchwise: The Complete Fundraising Toolkit

Beyond tracking and data rooms, Pitchwise includes everything you need for an organised fundraising process.

Pitch Deck and Financial Model Templates: Get editable templates designed for your specific stage (Pre-seed, Seed, Series A, Growth) and sector (fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, marketplace). These aren't just designs; they're frameworks with annotations explaining what investors expect on each slide and why it matters.

Resource Library: Access 50+ practical guides and frameworks covering everything from SAFE structures to what documents belong in your data room to how to approach specific investor types. You can also access investor lists for various markets and stages. Your fundraising knowledge base, written specifically for founders at your stage.

How Pitchwise Compares to Alternatives (DocSend, Papermark, Visible)

Let's be direct about where Pitchwise fits in the market, because you have options.

DocSend is the incumbent and the most expensive option. It costs $250/month (for the plan that includes a data room) and focuses primarily on secure document sharing with basic analytics. But DocSend doesn't offer investor lists or educational resources. It also doesn’t have granular data room analytics and has a limit on the number of documents allowed. At $1800+ per year, you're paying a premium for brand recognition, not for functionality.

Papermark is an open-source alternative that's gained traction recently. It offers document tracking, custom branding and a data room at a lower price point than DocSend (€79/month). The downside is that it has a limited number of documents allowed, and you can’t export visitor data for its data room product. Beyond this, it is also barebones, with no resource bank of practical guides and useful templates. Papermark is a good choice, but it won't help you with the broader fundraising process.

Visible is designed for ongoing investor relations rather than active fundraising. But it's not optimised for the due diligence phase of fundraising and doesn't offer the same granular document-level analytics. It also costs $69/month

Pitchwise combines data rooms + pitch deck tracking, templates, investor lists and practical guides in one platform for $13/month for the Starter plan (everything except Data Rooms) and $24/month for the Pro plan (with access to Data Rooms). You get unlimited granular analytics, unlimited documents allowed and robust control over access to your documents. In all, you get more functionality than DocSend, more structure than Visible, and more fundraising-specific tools than Papermark—coming at a fraction of the cost of all the options. The platform was built to give founders access to the essentials they need to fundraise and continue to share important documents without paying enterprise-level pricing.

Why Choose Pitchwise

By the time founders start evaluating tools like DocSend, Papermark, or Visible, they already understand the problem. They’ve outgrown attachments. They’ve felt the friction of messy folders or the lack of visibility and control with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or Notion. They know they need visibility into investor behaviour. The question is which one actually supports the reality of raising capital.

Most tools solve one slice of the workflow. Pitchwise was built around that full journey.

Pitchwise combines pitch deck tracking, structured data rooms, investor-level analytics, and practical fundraising resources into one system. Now, founders get a single place where their narrative, documents, and investor interactions live together.

That integration is what creates leverage. You’re not just seeing that someone opened your deck. You can see that they returned three times, then spent ten minutes inside your financials, then opened your cap table. You’re not just sharing files. You’re managing momentum.

And unlike many platforms that price themselves around enterprise workflows, Pitchwise remains accessible to even early-stage founders. You get functionality that competes with (and in many cases exceeds) tools costing several times more, without paying for brand markup or unnecessary complexity.
