@stephnass congrats on the launch! What stack did you build this with?
Steph Nass
@rgndws Haha that's a question for @lucasroquilly
Lucas Roquilly
@stephnass @rgndws hey Philipp, same stack as usual: rawdogging PHP, JS, HTML, CSS with jQuery and Bootstrap (no framework) ๐Ÿ˜

@stephnass @max_savonin1 Answering the genuine questions about the product for anyone reading this and might be interested : - You upload the pdf file you want as a pitch deck, so you can integrate all branding elements you want just like any other pdf file - Your pitch deck is only sent to the investors you decide to send it to. A unique link is generated for each investor. - You can import and export all the data from and into the OpenVC CRM as CSV files, so you can use the data with any other software

Ah, I wish I had this when I was fundraising. Any thoughts on open-core?

Looks cool. I used Brieflink for quite sometime, but ultimately had to revert back to docsend and drive as the mentioned one gets too slow often. Hope the experience would be smooth with OpenVC Decks.

@ashrahman Please feel free to test by yourself and tell us what you think about the experience ๐Ÿคฉ

Great product! I've used docsend in the past and it sucked. I remembered how it messed up my deck's formatting and of course, it's not free.

Congrats, @stephnass! OpenVC Decks sounds like a productive tool for founders. Seamless integration with the CRM is crucial for fundraising. Excited to see how this evolves! ๐Ÿš€

@stephnass That's really great! I used to track all the people that I've sent to, and it's really a PIA
Rammi Dgham
As a bootstrapping founder -- big thanks for building a free tool! I'd much rather spend more money on making the customer happy than on optimizing for VCs (with all due respect ofc)
Ari Massoudi
Maybe one of the best tools for startup founders!
Steph Nass
@ari_massoudi Thanks Ari!
Samuel Marinelli
Awesome to see the product getting denser and denser!!

Love it! Can't wait to start using. We were just about to pay for docsend ๐Ÿ˜…

@shivkodam Keep your money and buy yourself something nice instead :D

Exciting launch @stephnass! OpenVC Decks looks like a must-have tool for keeping investor files organized. Competitors like Carta, DocSend, and others in this space should take notice.
Elke
Great job on launching OpenVC Decks, @stephnass! This is such a timely tool for founders looking to streamline their fundraising efforts. The integration with the Fundraising CRM is a game-changer โ€” itโ€™ll simplify the tracking process significantly. Data-driven decisions are crucial, and having those insights automatically pulled into our pipeline is a massive relief. Excited to see how this will shape up in terms of traction and growth. Looking forward to testing it out! Any plans for additional features down the line? Thanks for the hard work, guys!
Steph Nass
@elke_qin Thanks Elke! Tons of ideas for the roadmap, but first, we want to see people's feedback :)
Thibault Mardinli
You guys are rock stars delivering value to founders as only a few do ! Congrats on the launch ๐Ÿ˜ป
Steph Nass
@thibault_mardinli1 Thanks Thibault!
Ema Elisi
This sounds like a game-changer for founders like us! Would love to know how the analytics compare to DocSend in detail and if there are any limits on the number of decks we can generate? Also, is the integration with the Fundraising CRM seamless for all current users? Great job, @stephnass
Lucas Roquilly
@stephnass @ema_elisi Hi Ema, -> The analytics are : who opened your deck, for how long, from which location (based on IP address), on what device and browser (e.g "Chrome on Windows" or "Safari on Iphone"), and what slides they viewed -> You can upload 5 different decks and generate an unlimited amount of unique shareable links for each one -> The integration with the OpenVC CRM is seamless for all users
Alex
This looks like a game changer for fundraising, Steph! Can't wait to try out OpenVC Decks. No more DocSend headaches! Upvote for sure!

OpenVC Decks looks like a solid tool for founders! Generating unlimited deck links and tracking powerful analytics directly in your CRM is super helpful. Plus, sharing via email and social media takes the hassle out of getting your pitch in front of investors. Can't wait to see how it evolves!
