See how many investors match your pitch deck
Upload your deck. SendVC reads it, works out what sector you are in, and counts how many of the 5,000+ active investors on file list a matching focus area. You get the count, what those investors fund, and where they are based.
You do not get their names. That is the honest trade: the numbers are public, the identities are part of the paid product. Running the preview needs a confirmed email address — no account, no card — so upload the deck once you have clicked the link we send.

What this preview shows, and what it does not
You see
- The sector the classifier read out of your deck, and its confidence.
- How many active investors list a focus area matching that sector.
- How many distinct firms sit behind those records.
- The focus areas those investors list, ranked by how often they appear.
- The cities they cluster in, counted only where a location is recognisable.
You do not see
- Firm names, partner names, or how to reach any of them.
- Check sizes. Only a small minority of records carry one, so publishing a figure would be inventing precision the data does not have.
- Any prediction about interest. A focus-area match says an investor works in your space, nothing more.
- A guaranteed reachable set. The count ignores the plan and recency filters a real send applies, so it is an upper bound.
How the count is produced
1. The deck is read, not stored
Text is pulled out of the PDF in memory. If your deck is a scan or an image export with no text layer, there is nothing to pull, which is why the form takes an optional one-line description as a fallback. The file itself is never written to storage.
2. A model infers the sector
The extracted text goes to the same classifier the paid product uses, which returns a sector and a confidence level. Both are shown to you, along with the model's own one-line reasoning, so a bad read is visible instead of silently wrong.
3. The database is counted
The sector is expanded into search keywords, and every active investor whose stated focus areas contain one of them is counted. The same query drives the distributions underneath. Nothing is estimated and nothing is rounded up.
Questions
- Does the preview tell me which investors match?
- No. It returns counts and distributions only: how many active investors match your sector, the focus areas they list, and the cities they cluster in. Firm names, partner names and each firm’s contact route are part of the paid product.
- Do I need an account or a card?
- Neither. You confirm your email once: enter it, click the link we send, and the uploader opens on this page — no password and no account is created. Confirming is what keeps the preview to a fair number of runs per person, since it costs real compute to run. Your address also goes on the SendVC mailing list, which every email lets you leave. SendVC itself has no free tier and no free trial, so this preview is the free part, and it exists so you can judge the database before subscribing.
- Is my pitch deck stored anywhere?
- No. The text is extracted from the PDF in memory, sent to the AI provider that classifies the sector, and discarded when the request finishes. Nothing is written to file storage and no copy is kept.
- How is the number worked out?
- An AI model reads the deck text and infers a sector. That sector is expanded into keywords, and every active investor whose stated focus areas contain one of those keywords is counted. It is the same first-pass match the paid product runs, without the plan and recency filters — so treat the figure as an upper bound rather than a promise.
- What if the sector it infers is wrong?
- The preview shows you the sector it settled on, how confident it was, and the exact keywords it matched on. If that reading is wrong, add a one-line description of what you are building and run it again; the count moves with the classification.
