How does AI pitch deck analysis work?

Upload your pitch deck as a PDF. Our 8 modular AI agents extract structured data, verify claims, score across 5 investment lenses (0-10), and match you to thesis-aligned investors — all in under 60 seconds.

NuScore is a proprietary 0-10 investment readiness score calibrated against 180+ real VC investment memos. It evaluates your deck across 5 lenses: Problem & Market, Differentiation & Moat, Execution & Leverage, Proof & Traction, and Risk & Fragility.

How much does NUVC cost?

NUVC offers a free preview score. The full NuScore Analysis with coaching, investor matching, and unlimited decks is $99 AUD one-time — no subscription, no equity.

How are investors matched to my startup?

Our AI reads your deck like an investor, then cross-references against 2,930 verified investors (100% embedding coverage) using semantic embeddings. Matches are based on demonstrated investment behaviour from 180+ parsed VC memos — not just stated preferences.

Is my pitch deck data private?

Yes. Your deck is encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We do not share your deck content with other users or investors. You can delete your data at any time.
