Our Mission

Democratizing Demo Day Success

Demo Day is one of the most important moments in a startup's journey. In just a few minutes, founders must convince investors, partners, and potential customers that their company is worth backing.

Yet most founders prepare for this critical moment with limited feedback. They practice in front of friends, record themselves, and hope for the best. Meanwhile, well-connected founders get coaching from experienced investors and successful entrepreneurs.

Pitch Ready levels the playing field. We give every founder structured feedback against the same Demo Day rubric that top accelerator graduates work from — sourced from PL Network's published Demo Day Playbook and the Vertebrae framework adapted from Geoff Ralston (Y Combinator).

Features

Everything You Need to Perfect Your Pitch

Video Analysis
Whisper transcribes your pitch, then Claude analyzes content, narrative, and clarity. Sampled frames go through Claude Vision for real framing, lighting, gaze, and presentation-quality assessment.
Deck Review
Claude Vision reads your PDF deck directly — no slide-to-image conversion. Server-side metadata extraction confirms page count and dimensions before scoring.
Criteria-Based Scoring
Scored against PL Demo Day technical and content requirements (per PL Network's published Demo Day Playbook). PL mode adds a Web3 Thesis Fit dimension covering decentralization necessity, tokenomics, and protocol-vs-application classification.

Progress Tracking
Track your improvement over multiple assessments. See how your scores change as you refine your pitch.

Criteria Scoring

Evaluation

What We Evaluate

Six dimensions on every assessment, weighted by impact on investor perception. PL Demo Day mode adds a seventh dimension — Web3 Thesis Fit — covering decentralization necessity, tokenomics, protocol-vs-application classification, community traction, composability, capital efficiency, and founder track record. (When PL mode is on, the six base weights are scaled down proportionally so the total stays 100%.)
