Yes, it’s an AI-generated, templated output, but don’t let that fool you. The real value is in the unique segmentation of files and layouts it produces. Like it or not, it gets you thinking about your final pitch deck’s style in fresh ways. We loved that part. The system even pulled together files we hadn’t considered making before.

For us, one of the biggest wins was how it got us about 70% of the way to a polished business plan and pitch deck. More importantly, it pushed us in the right direction to apply to various startup accelerators. The pre-drafted questions and answers for applications alone were worth the cost.

A few things to know before you start:

Plan for a full hour. Once you start answering the initial questions, there doesn’t seem to be a “pause and resume” feature. We tried coming back later, but it reset us to the beginning. So block off enough time to finish in one sitting.

Broken investor links. At the end of the process, the automated links to investor contacts and some other resources didn’t work (they led to dead pages: https://pitchbob.io/services/investor-outreach). It would be great to see these fixed in the future.

Startup article feature may be gone. The option to have your startup featured as an article on their site seems to have been discontinued since April, so don’t count on that perk.

Even with these small hiccups, it’s still a fantastic deal. We’re more than happy with what we got, and if the investor contact feature comes back, that would make it even better.
