Roast My Pitch Deck

Before you pitch a real investor, pitch this. Paste your pitch, elevator pitch, or a slide-by-slide summary of your deck and get two takes: a roast that finds the weak spots your co-founder is too nice to mention, and a skeptical investor's honest reaction — the same kind of unimpressed, "so what's actually defensible here" energy you'll get in a real room. Free, instant, and considerably cheaper than finding out live in front of a VC.

The tool evaluates your pitch the way early-stage investors actually process it: fast, skeptical, and looking for reasons to pass. The roast persona targets the jargon, the inflated market sizes, and the "we have no competition" claims that make investors cringe. The investor persona asks the hard questions — about defensibility, traction signals, monetization logic, and whether the ask matches the stage. Both personas are designed to surface the weaknesses you're too close to your own idea to see.

This is for founders preparing for demo days, accelerator applications, angel meetings, or any time you need to get someone excited about your idea in under five minutes. It works whether you're pre-revenue with a thesis or post-traction with a deck full of charts. For help refining the business idea behind your pitch, try our Roast My Business Idea tool. Once your deck is ready, pair it with a website roast to make sure your online presence matches your pitch quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Paste a written summary of your pitch (problem, solution, market, traction, ask) — you don't need an actual deck file.
Market size, defensibility, traction signals, and whether the ask makes sense — the same things most early-stage investors scan for in the first two minutes of a pitch.
Both are useful — early to sanity-check your core narrative, and later to stress-test the specific language you're planning to use live.
No — treat it as a fast first pass to catch obvious weaknesses before you spend that credibility with a real investor or mentor.
Yes — nothing you paste is stored or shared. That said, avoid pasting information you wouldn't want processed by a third-party AI tool, same as with any AI service.
Most effective pitch decks fall between 10 and 15 slides, but the tool evaluates your content quality and narrative structure regardless of how you break it up. A well-structured 12-slide deck beats a scattered 30-slide one every time.
Early-stage investors typically evaluate the problem's urgency, market size, your team's unfair advantage, traction or proof of demand, and whether the financial ask is reasonable for the stage. The investor persona in this tool simulates that same critical read.
The tool evaluates the narrative and messaging around your data — whether your traction story is compelling, whether your market size claims are credible, and whether your ask makes sense. For visual data presentation, paste the text description and the roast will flag weak or unconvincing data storytelling.
