Share your pitch deck with one link

A PDF attachment goes dark the second it leaves your outbox, you never learn if it was opened, skimmed, or buried. A tracked link turns your raise into a simple signal: opened, not opened, opened again. If you upload one link per firm (a 60-second copy for each), your dashboard becomes a live pipeline view. The fund that opened it twice before your call is warm; the one that never opened it three days after a 'love this, will review' reply is telling you where you really stand. Founders waste weeks chasing the polite non-answers, view data lets you spend that energy where there's genuine pull.

Your deck has your real ARR, your burn, your cap table math. That's not something you want forwardable to anyone who lands on the URL. On any plan, add a password to the link (share it in a separate message or verbally on the call) so only the people you've actually chosen can open the deck. It's the difference between blasting a public file and running a controlled process, useful the moment a partner asks to 'loop in the rest of the team' and you want to know exactly who's getting in. Honest caveat: a password gates access, it can't stop someone who's already inside from taking a screenshot.

Decks leak forward. Six months after your seed round, an old version with numbers you've long outgrown shouldn't still be a live link a stranger can open. On any plan, set an expiry date on the link, after that date it simply stops opening, no cleanup needed on your end. Pair it with a raise timeline: give a cold outbound deck a short window, or expire an old round's link once you close so nobody's diligencing outdated projections. This is a deliberate control, free on every plan; links don't run on an expiry timer by default, which is exactly why the expiry toggle matters for anything sensitive.

Raises are messy. A metric updates, a slide has a typo, a partner asks for a revised ask, and normally that means emailing 'sorry, use this version instead' to twenty people, half of whom will still open the old one. Here you replace the file behind the same link, and every URL you've already sent now serves the new deck. No v8_ACTUAL_final.pdf, no confused investor comparing two versions, no embarrassing correction thread. It also means you can send the link early, before the deck is perfectly polished, and keep refining right up to the partner meeting without anyone noticing the churn.

Early in a process you're often sending to people you don't know well yet. Turn the link view-only on any plan and the download button disappears, investors read the deck in the browser but don't walk away with a copy of the file to forward around. It won't stop a determined screenshot (nothing can), but it removes the frictionless 'save and share with a friend at another fund' path and keeps your deck living at one link you control rather than as a loose PDF in a dozen inboxes. Flip download back on later for a partner who's genuinely in diligence and needs it offline.

The single highest-value habit here takes sixty seconds per investor and turns your raise from a guess into a pipeline. Upload the same deck once per firm, name each link after that firm, and your dashboard becomes a list of who is actually engaged. Name the link for the firm, not the round: acme-ventures, not seed-deck-v4. One link per firm, not per partner, so a deck forwarded inside a fund counts its opens together. Keep a one-line note beside each link (date sent, warm intro or cold, who the champion is): the view log tells you the what, your note tells you the why. For a genuinely cold list, one shared link is fine; the per-firm trick is for the twenty conversations you actually care about. One warning against over-reading: even on any plan, where you see the seconds spent on each slide, the numbers tell you what happened, not why, so treat them as a signal on top of the conversation, never as a substitute for it.
