Pitchgrade

Pitchgrade is an academic research tool. Pitchgrade scores pitch decks across six dimensions, matches them to investors, generates PPTX slides from a prompt and offers AI company research with live financial data and an autonomous research agent for DCF models and SEC filing analysis.

Pitchgrade is a web-based toolkit for founders and analysts that combines pitch deck feedback with company and market research. The core workflow starts with a deck: users paste pitch text or upload a PDF or PPTX, and the AI reads each slide, then returns a score across six dimensions along with structured, slide-level suggestions. A rewrite step can then revise the deck based on that feedback, or the user can refine it by hand. Around the review feature sit several related tools. An investor matching view shows how a deck fits with more than twenty well-known investors, and users can enter a target investor of their own. A slide generator produces styled PPTX decks from a prompt, ready to download. On the research side, Pitchgrade offers live financial data such as stock quotes, income statements, analyst consensus and insider activity, plus a tool that compares up to four companies side by side on metrics like market cap, revenue, margins and P/E ratio. Basic SWOT analysis and company watchlists are included. The newest addition is a Research Agent, sold as a separate Agent tier. It is described as an autonomous system that plans a task, searches, builds DCF and comparable company models, analyzes SEC EDGAR 10-K and 10-Q filings, benchmarks peers and writes an investment thesis inside persistent research workspaces. Excel or CSV export and sensitivity analysis on WACC and growth are part of that package. The audience is early-stage founders preparing to fundraise, plus students, junior analysts and independent investors who want quick company research without a data terminal subscription. Compared with pure presentation makers, Pitchgrade is narrower and more finance-minded: it is less about visual design polish and more about whether a deck's content would persuade an investor. The site also publishes a blog and FAQ on pitch deck structure, which gives beginners context. The free plan limits AI research queries and saved decks, so heavier users are pushed toward the paid tiers.
