    From "Needs Work" to "Investor Ready"

    Two illustrative pitch decks show how clarity, evidence and a credible ask affect the assessment. These are separate sample profiles, not a before-and-after result. They do not promise funding.

    From upload to rewrite priorities in one workflow

    1. Step 1

      Upload your pitch deck

      PDF, PPTX, or DOCX. Up to 25 MB. Your deck stays private and encrypted.

    2. Step 2

      Get your free Lite score

      See how investors are likely to read the story, with a CVM score, 9 framework benchmarks, top strengths, and critical gaps, results in under 10 minutes.

    3. Step 3

      See what to fix and how to fix it

      Premium pinpoints the slides, story gaps, visual issues, and investor-fit signals to improve, then prioritizes the work.

    4. Step 4

      Make the changes and compare your next version

      Apply the recommendations, re-upload the improved deck, and see whether the investment story now lands more clearly.

    Premium turns the score into a clear plan.

    Lite finds the first gaps. Premium shows exactly what to fix, where to fix it, and how to strengthen each slide, section, and investor-fit signal.

    01 / Strengthen the investment story

    See the weak slide. Get a concrete way to rewrite it.

    You should not have to translate vague feedback into a blank slide. Premium identifies priority rewrites, explains what weakens the current content, and proposes clearer wording with the reasoning behind it.

    Use the draft as a starting point. Check every claim against your actual business, keep your own voice, and copy the wording you want to work with.

    02 / Prepare for the right conversation

    Understand which investor types your pitch deck fits.

    A pitch can be persuasive for one kind of investor and leave another unconvinced. The Investor Fit Matrix compares your story with investor archetypes and explains the alignment behind each result.

    Use it to sharpen your positioning and outreach. A fit score describes alignment with an investor type, not a funding probability or a decision by a specific firm.

    03 / Make the evidence easier to read

    Find the design choices that hide your strongest points.

    Your numbers need to be seen and your story needs to be easy to follow. When you upload a pitch deck, Premium reviews its visual hierarchy, typography, charts and consistency alongside the content.

    See the design strengths to keep and the changes to make before your next meeting. This visual review needs an uploaded pitch deck; a text-only submission cannot provide it.

    Sebastian Scheplitz, founder of Deckmetric and Shepard&Young

    Built by someone who has raised, sold, and sat on the other side of the table.

    Sebastian Scheplitz founded two companies, built them from zero, and sold both. Since then he has reviewed 350+ pitch decks: as an advisor, as an accelerator mentor in Dubai, and as the person investors in his network ask before they take a meeting.

    The CVM framework inside Deckmetric is that read, written down. Not a generic rubric. It is the scoring logic he uses when someone asks him whether a pitch deck is worth an hour of their time.

    Premium members whose pitch deck reaches a CVM score of 8.0 may also be considered for a personal introduction to Sebastian's investor network.
