Slide 06 · Traction
Traction
We've grown a lot in a short time. Customers love us. Revenue is trending in the right direction. We're excited about what comes next.
Slide score
5.8 / 10
What investors like
- Conveys momentum and a confident tone
What they don't like
- Flat metric is hidden — show the growth rate, not absolute MRR
- Add cohort retention; absolute numbers won't carry the slide
How it works
Three steps. Honest answers.
Upload, analyze, iterate - built for the iterative grind every fundraise really is.
02
Analyze.
Each slide gets scored against the patterns from decks that actually closed rounds.
03
Iterate.
Re-upload as you revise. Watch your score climb. Track every version.
What you get
Feedback specific enough to act on.
Most tools give you a generic score. Pitchsidian scores every slide out of 10 and tells you exactly what investors will like, and what they won't.
