Before you raise
A founder eight weeks out from raising does not need to upload anything yet. They need to know who they will be sending to, and whether the deck they are writing says what they think it says. That is what this page is for.
What investors actually do
Every quarter we publish what our own data shows about investor behaviour, drawn from decks founders have run through CherryPitch. Findings are aggregate and anonymised. No company is identifiable and no single deck appears in any report.
Get your deck to say what you actually are
The matching works from your deck. A deck that states your stage, your ask and your traction plainly comes back with a sharper list than one that leaves them to be guessed at. These two exist for that reason.
ACME Corp is a fictional B2B company, built to the standard investors apply. Sixteen slides, with the reasoning behind each choice.
Twenty-seven slides with instructions on every page. Core slides are labelled separately from situational ones, so most founders finish at twelve to sixteen.
Both are free. We ask for a name and an email address and send you the file.

Fundraising glossary. → Plain definitions for the words that get used around a raise, written for someone reading them for the first time. No jargon explained with more jargon.
Questions and thinking
How the matching works, what happens to your deck, what each tier includes.
