PRESENDER FOR FOUNDERS

Stop sending the same 12 slides
to every VC.

Every fund has a different thesis, a different portfolio, a different check size. Your deck should reflect that. Presender builds each VC a version that references their investments, their focus, and why they specifically should lead your round.

THE PROBLEM

50 funds. Same deck.
They can tell.

The partners who write the checks see 30 decks a week. Yours competes with 29 that look identical — unless you give them a reason to read past slide 2.

Dear investor

You open your pitch deck, add the VC’s name to the email, and hit send. The partner has seen this exact structure 30 times this week. Your deck competes with 29 others that look identical.

The good version takes all day

Your best investor meetings happen when you research the fund first — mention their portfolio company, reference their thesis. But doing this for 50 funds? That’s 2 weeks of full-time research instead of building your product.

Radio silence after send

You email the deck and wait. Did the partner open it? Did they forward it to an associate for review? Did they spend 10 seconds or 10 minutes? You follow up blindly after a week, hoping you’re not being annoying.

HOW IT WORKS

One pitch deck. 50 personalized
versions. One afternoon.

SPOTLIGHT DEMO

Paste the fund’s website. Pitch like
you studied their entire portfolio.

PASTED URL holt.vc

You’re raising a seed round. We pasted holt.vc. In 2 minutes, Presender:

✓ Found their investment thesis and stage focus
✓ Identified 2 portfolio companies adjacent to our space
✓ Referenced the lead partner’s recent blog post about the market we’re in
✓ Framed our traction using their portfolio’s benchmarks
✓ Wrote the deck in the tone of their website — technical, not hype

That partner replied in 45 minutes: "Finally, a founder who did their homework."

PREPARED FOR HOLT · COVER 01

Cadence: the next logical bet next to Glyph in your portfolio.

Same buyer. Adjacent wedge. Different go-to-market motion. Built for the thesis you wrote about in March.

WHY HOLT · LEAD CASE 11

Why we want Holt to lead, not just join.

Your last 3 leads have all built into the same operating motion we need. We’re asking for the seat, not just the check.

FUNDRAISING INTELLIGENCE

Know which VCs are serious
before the partner meeting.

A PDF to a partner’s inbox tells you nothing. A Presender link tells you who opened it, which slides triggered diligence, when forwarded copies are opened, and the moment the fund came back.

The diligence signal

The partner opens your deck and forwards it to an associate. That’s not a rejection — that’s the start of due diligence. You’ll see both sessions and know which slides the associate focused on.

The traction deep-dive

When a partner spends 3 minutes on your traction slide and returns the next day, they’re building a case internally. Your follow-up should include updated metrics — they’re ready to go deeper.

The pass filter

You sent your deck to 50 funds. 20 opened. 8 viewed all slides. 3 forwarded to associates. Focus your energy on those 3 — they’re the ones doing diligence. The other 47 passed.
