BULLPEN

Know before you pitch

Upload your deck. See exactly how investors will judge it — before you're in the room.

Most first-time decks get rated early by investors. Know yours before you pitch.

The stakes

One bad pitch can cost you
six months

A top-tier VC partner sees over 1,000 pitch decks every year. Most get judged in under 3 minutes — and you only get one shot at a first impression. Founders spend weeks chasing intros, prepping for meetings, and waiting — only to get vague feedback from a single person who wasn't even paying attention. That's one data point determining the future of your company.

That many competing for attention — and each gets roughly 3 minutes before a pass or a meeting.

The solution

See through
investors' eyes

One investor's opinion is not a verdict. Bullpen gives you a council of 7 AI evaluators — each trained on a different investor perspective — who together produce a complete readiness report. You get scores across every category investors actually care about, with specific fixes you can apply before your first real meeting.

The most dangerous thing about investors is their indecisiveness. Know where you stand.

Speed of iteration is the only sustainable moat in the age of AI.
