When my co-founder and I submitted our pitch deck to Honest Opinion, we found the feedback incredibly helpful - it was honest, fair and actionable! In fact, it was the most honest feedback we've received. They provided us with details on what was missing from our dec, identified the areas that we were weakest, and gave some insights into what they would expect to see from a startup at our stage. As a direct result, we did a complete overhaul of our pitch deck and feel much more confident in our new approach. Highly recommend this to any founders looking for objective feedback on their deck.
@fi_macdougall It's comments like that, that make it totally worthwhile! Thanks Fiona.

Wow! We were really skeptical at first and our expectations were low to nil. But the feedback that we received was really spot-and and very constructive. We've received plenty of feedback in the past, but this was way more rigorous and actionable. Highly recommend Honest Opinion !
@claudia_nassif We're so pleased you found it useful. Good luck with your venture, from the team at HonestOpinion.

I used this service, got 0/100 (the first ever!), and think it's great. They are working on a re-submission plan that will allow you to iteratively improve based on repeated feedback (aka "advice"), that you can actually count on.
@leanphilosophic We're really pleased you recognise the value, even though you had some pretty tough feedback this time round.
We've been asked a number of times about being able to resubmit your deck. We've started talking to everyone involved, and I think we might be able to this for a small fee to cover some of the cost of the additional time needed. We'll keep you posted and let you know soon.
Thanks for trying HonestOpinion and good luck.

I submitted my deck a bit sceptical, thinking I would receive an automated message with 3-5 computer-generated metrics saying what could be improved in our deck in terms of length or word count per slide. I was very positively surprised when I received an in-depth review (in less than two days) that was very well structured and had actionable advice to improve our deck. Thank you so much for this service - it really makes a difference, helping early stage entrepreneurs like me be more investor-ready! I highly recommend this to anyone who would like an honest, independent review of their deck.
Minor feedback: Would be useful to have a benchmark to help us assess the final score. What is considered a good deck? What is the average rating you've given so far? Etc.

I haven't tried the product, but I think it's a very powerful concept. Often there are brilliant ideas and great teams that are a few steps away from getting funding, and if this helps, then it's a game-changer.

This is a great idea. Can't believe it's free. Really helpful to get an honest independent review of your pitch deck before showing it to investors.
After 3 months of flying below the radar, we're out of Beta! If you're a startup founder and looking for a honest opinion about your startup, give our panel a try. We've got successful founders, angels, product designers, CTOs on our panel, so you're guaranteed to learn something.
Here's a quote from one of our earliest beta customers:
"I thought the feedback was genuinely excellent. Criticism is never nice to hear, but we only learn when we know our mistakes. After the feedback, we revised our deck and started getting more traction from investors." - Nihaal Khanna, Founder of Debtech.
