While fundraising, I got frustrated with pitch deck tools:

PDFs = no version control or visibility.

DocSend = pricey, limited analytics.

Others felt rigid or overpriced.

So I built PitchRaft — think DocSend + Hotjar for pitch decks:

Heatmaps: see what slides investors read, skip, or re-watch.

FOMO overlays: subtle nudges like “10 investors are viewing.”

Engagement metrics: time per slide, replays, click-throughs.

Always updated: change decks without breaking links.

Not just tracking views — it helps founders craft better decks based on real investor behavior. Using it ourselves has improved our fundraising and led to more follow-up meetings.

Curious what this community thinks: would you use this over PDFs / DocSend? Any pitfalls you see in investor-facing analytics?
