"I watched a founder spend 7 months raising. He got 2 meetings. Here's what was actually broken."

Last year I sat across from a founder, smart guy, real product, paying customers.

He'd spent 7 months trying to raise his seed round. Sent 200 cold emails. Got 2 meetings. Both passed with no feedback.

I asked to see his deck.

Three things were immediately obvious:

1. His market size claim was wrong. He said £4B TAM. The real number was closer to £400M. Any VC who spent 5 minutes fact-checking would have stopped reading right there.
2. He was emailing the wrong investors. Half his list invested at Series B+. Several didn't touch his sector at all. He'd spent weeks building a list that was 80% irrelevant.
3. His outreach was identical to every other cold email in their inbox. No personalisation. No reference to their portfolio. Nothing that showed he'd done homework.

None of this was his fault. He's a first-time founder. He didn't know what he didn't know.

The problem? The only way to get this feedback was to hire an advisor (£5K–£20K) or burn through your best investor leads learning the hard way.
That's what we spent 2 years building Platvix to fix.

We ran a closed version, 300 startups signed up, and a handful of investors who used it to screen deal flow on the other side. Today it's open to everyone, free to use.

Upload your deck → get it scored the way a VC actually scores it → verify every claim you're making → find investors who are likely to invest in you → build personalised outreach for every investor.

If you're raising right now, or planning to in the next 6 months , I'd love to have you try it and tell me what's broken.
