Read the guideYes — the analysis is free for founders. We built it because we spend our time putting founders in front of investors, and a deck that's ready is the first step.
PDF or PowerPoint (PPTX), up to 25 MB. If your deck is in Keynote or Google Slides, export it to PDF first.
Your deck is read by the tool to produce your report and by no one else. It isn't shared with sponsors, partners, investors, or anyone outside Seed2Table, and it isn't used to match you with investors.
Three deck-only reads. First, whether your deck has the ten things every deck needs — red, amber, or green on each. Second, how it presents as a document. Third, the readiness and evidence shown in the deck. We check that the work is there, not whether your claims are true.
No. The analysis is automated and informational. It isn't investment, legal, or financial advice, and it doesn't guarantee any outcome, funding, or selection for a Seed2Table event.
Not directly. Seed2Table runs events that put founders and investors in the same room. If your deck is a strong fit, we may ask whether you'd like to apply to pitch at one — but that's your choice, and the analysis never promises it.
No. We reference their publicly available guidance on what makes a good deck because it's the clearest out there. Neither is affiliated with or endorses Seed2Table, and we don't use their logos.
