Coming Soon: The 1752vc Pitch Deck Analyzer!

Hey Product Hunt πŸ‘‹


I'm Lucas, GP at 1752vc β€” we review thousands of pitch decks every year and back founders across our programs.


We're launching our Deck Analyzer soon β€” a tool that gives founders investor-grade feedback on their pitch deck before it ever reaches an investor's inbox.

It's trained on 25,000+ real pitch decks and 3,000+ investor attributes to deliver feedback grounded in how investors actually evaluate startups β€” not generic AI advice.


Until then, I'll be here answering any questions you have about pitch decks β€” structure, narrative, what's making investors pass, whatever you're stuck on. Drop it in the comments.

Congrats on the launch! I'm so excited to use the pitch deck analyzer. I'm curious, what's something investors care about that founders rarely address in their deck?

Β Founders often fall short on their GTM slide and keep it super generic. That's exactly why our accelerator's focus is on GTM and sales, to address this gap. Nail a specific, credible go-to-market and you're ahead of most decks.

Β why you are one who should tackle this specific problem. many can think about it. ideas are not as unique as most founders think. but are you the person who has the added edge, the extra domain knowledge, the personal story behind it that sets you apart from 5 other founders that thought of the solution and now want to make money?

I started a platform to fix the dating crisis. why me? I suffered trought it for 20 years but mores I experienced the system failures personally. I churned as a customer because the existing solutions were not working, were not ethical (dating app subscriptions to string anyone along?)or did not address the problems (pay more for higher visibility "tinder gold" does not solve performance dating mechanics, it promises to rig the numbers game only).

if you bring a unique perspective thats more valuable then just waking up one day and deciding you are starting a company to switch jobs as you hate yours. drive, passion motivation cannot be bought, aquired or faked! either they are there or not.

Excited to see this launch. One question I’m particularly curious about: how does the analyzer distinguish between a deck that is objectively weak and one that is simply a poor fit for a particular investor or stage? A lot of pitch deck advice can become generic very quickly, so I’d be interested to know whether the feedback will also account for factors like sector, stage, geography, and investor thesis when evaluating a deck.

Β No generic advice. It reads your full deck and gives feedback personalized to what's actually on your slides. It separates deck quality (narrative, clarity, structure) from fit (sector, stage, thesis), so you'll know what's objectively weak vs. just mismatched. Built specifically for early-stage founders.

have you tested investors reactions on pitches before and after Deck Analyzer's work?

Β Yes. We've seen founders upload multiple versions of the same deck, applying the feedback each round, and the improvement from first to final is dramatic. Investors in our network have tested it too.

Awesome! I would love to try Deck Analyzer!

Β Run your deck for free and let us know if the analysis was helpful

Super excited for the launch! A couple of questions I had about the analyzer: how does it weigh narrative vs. traction when a deck could go either way? Can a strong story actually offset weak numbers at pre-seed?

Β Love this question. At pre-seed, yes β€” a strong narrative can absolutely carry a deck, because there often aren't meaningful numbers yet, so investors are underwriting the team, market size, the "why now," etc. What a great story can't do is contradict the numbers you do have; if traction is present but weak, the move isn't to hide it behind narrative, it's to frame it honestly and show the trajectory. The analyzer takes account for what stage you're at.

Super exciting launch! I am looking to create my pitch deck for investors in a few months. How do you see AI changing fundraising? Do you think founders who use AI to refine their pitch decks will have a meaningful advantage?

Β Congrats on getting ready to raise! Our honest view: founders who lean into AI for fundraising are going to do really well. It's not about letting AI write your deck β€” it's about using it to work smarter across the whole process. Think building targeted lists of VCs whose thesis and past investments actually match what you're building, so you're reaching out to the right people instead of spraying and praying. And using tools like ours to refine your deck so it communicates the important things clearly to investors. Founders who do both β€” smart targeting plus sharp, well-communicated decks β€” are the ones who'll win. You'd be a perfect person to run your deck through when you start drafting, so we'd love to help.

How important of a role does the design/aesthetic of a deck play for evaluating a pre-seed or idea stage startup?

No investor funds a deck for being beautiful β€” clarity beats polish every time. But sloppy design costs you in a real way: if slides are cluttered or hard to follow, a reviewer skimming dozens of decks may just pass rather than work to understand yours. The bar isn't "gorgeous," it's "clean and legible so nothing gets in the way of the story." The analyzer focuses on that substance-first clarity rather than heavily grading aesthetics.

What sort of criteria will the pitch-deck analyzer use?

Β Great question. It reviews a deck across the dimensions investors actually weigh β€” problem clarity, solution and product, market size, business model, traction, team, competition, and the ask β€” plus the connective tissue like narrative flow and a clear "why now." You get feedback slide-by-slide on where each is landing and where it's falling short. And because 1752 sits on the investor side, the criteria are grounded in how decks actually get read in a review, not a generic checklist.

This addresses a very real founder challenge. As we build an enterprise AI platform for the medical-device industry, one of the hardest parts is explaining the technical depth, regulatory complexity, and commercial opportunity without overwhelming investors.

Will the Deck Analyzer tailor its feedback based on the company’s stage, industry, and fundraising type? A pre-seed regulated-industry startup may need to tell a very different story from a growth-stage consumer SaaS company.

Looking forward to trying it!

Β  Great question β€” and yes. The analyzer weighs a deck against what investors actually look for at your stage and in your category, so a pre-seed regulated-industry story reads very differently from a growth-stage consumer SaaS deck. For a medical-device platform, that means it credits you for de-risking the regulatory and clinical path and for translating deep technical work into a clear commercial opportunity β€” rather than dinging you for not looking like a SaaS rocketship. The goal is feedback grounded in how a deck in your specific situation actually gets read on the investor side. Would love to hear what you think once you try it!

Β That’s exactly the distinction I was hoping for - thank you, Lucas. We’ve built meaningful depth in a risk platform for a highly regulated market, and our enterprise conversations are helping sharpen the commercial story. Deciding what to leave out is now harder than finding substance to include. I’m looking forward to seeing what the analyzer surfaces.

Β  Β Deciding what to leave out is the right problem to have. That's usually where the analyzer earns its keep, since it flags the slides where technical depth is costing you clarity rather than building it. Would love to hear what it surfaces on your deck.

will there be more customization options in the future, such as investor targeting (Angel vs VC vs Family Offices)? An Angel is more interested in the mission than a European VC who cars more about financials perhaps.

which there be a selector of intro deck (fewer slides) vs full deck? Some of the checks combine advice that would be different for an intro deck in my opinion.

Β Interesting thought on different stakeholders and something to consider-- might be tough getting that granular especially around angels because what they care about is so wildly varied-- but something to look at for sure

For the second piece no simply because I am not a believer in an intro deck-- deck should give me the desire to have a meeting and understand what you're doing/ thought process around execution-- everything else we will either request in a data room or chat with during a call

Β Sounds good. So you never feel overwhelmed when you receive a full desck on a cold email outreach? im never sure of attaching it is better than waiting for them to ask. Dont want to be too forward but also not them having to ask is more friction than id like. what do you think?
