Deckhand
Know who read your pitch deck. Tracked link in 20 seconds, n
Deckhand turns a pitch deck into a tracked link in twenty seconds, with no account. Drop the PDF on the homepage and a live tracked link is in your clipboard before the page finishes loading - the account creates itself behind you. The deck renders page by page as images in the browser, so it is read, never downloaded, and readers type their email to open it, which is how you learn who read your deck and for how long.
Features
Unlimited decks on the free tier, one tracked link each. Page-by-page viewer that renders the deck as images, so it cannot be downloaded. Readers identify themselves with their email to open it. Email notification the moment an investor opens. A Board that lists who opened what, and when.
Use Cases
Founders sending a deck to 20-60 investors over a six-week raise, who want to know who actually read it and shut the link off when the round closes. Consultants and agencies sending proposals they do not want forwarded, and operators sending investor updates or a financial model.
Comments
Rendering the deck as images so the PDF is never downloaded, plus an email gate before anyone can open it, is the part I'd actually use during a raise. Unlimited free decks with one tracked link each is a clean free tier, and the email the moment an investor opens is more useful than a weekly digest. Before I'd send this to 20-60 investors, I need to know what the Board records beyond the open: time on each page, or only that they opened and when? If someone skims the appendix and bounces on the traction slide, a binary open hides the only signal that matters. Also, can you kill the link when the round closes without losing the history of who already read it?
The page-by-page image rendering is a smart way to let investors read a deck without being able to download the PDF, and the email-to-open gate gives founders real data on who looked. Is it possible to see per-page time spent for each viewer on the Board? That would help founders tell a skim from a serious read before following up.
Coming from sales, this looks just as useful for proposals as for pitch decks — knowing a prospect actually opened the deal deck changes when you follow up. Two questions: if one link gets forwarded inside the buyer's company, does the Board show each new reader's email separately? And is there a CRM hook (HubSpot or similar), so an open can show up on the deal instead of only in email?
The page-by-page viewer that renders the deck as images, so it's read and never downloaded, is a smart way to keep a pitch deck from being forwarded around. I also like that readers identify themselves by email, plus the instant notification when an investor opens it. That combination makes follow-ups much easier to time during a raise.
Rendering the deck page by page as images, with an email gate and no download, suits consultants sending proposals they don't want forwarded. Could the Board show a per-viewer breakdown of which pages were opened, so I can see whether a reader stopped at the pricing slide? A one-click option to revoke a link while keeping its history would also be useful.
