Hi Hacker News,

We’ve built Pitch Forge, an AI-powered SaaS tool designed to help startups create investor-ready pitch decks in minutes.

How it works:

1. Input your startup’s name, description, target audience (buyer persona), and desired pitch length (1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes).

2. Pitch Forge generates:

A professionally written script tailored to investors.

A PPT deck designed for clarity and impact.

An audio pitch of the script with emphasis on key points to help you practice or even use directly.

Why we built this:

Creating a pitch deck is stressful, especially for early-stage founders who may lack experience or design skills. We wanted to make the process fast, effective, and accessible for everyone.

What’s next?

We’re currently validating demand and gathering feedback. Sign up for early access on our waitlist: https://pitch-forge.com.

If you're a founder, investor, or just curious, we’d love to hear your thoughts! How can we make this more helpful for you?

Thank you!

Thanks for the commets.

We are modifying the website after doing an analysis with semrush and hotjar.

So; all feedback is always appreciated.

We would also like to have more feedback on ideas and functionalities that could be useful for the saas.

Thanks for your time, by the way.

Note that Hotjar is blocked by Brave by default (and probably other ad-blockers), so the data you get can be skewed, as it no longer represents the more technical audience (which your website might be for, or the people coming from HN).

You have more chances to get accurate stats with a self-hosted alternative, like the one I'm building, UXWizz[0]. Or Matomo[1], but I am not sure how heatmaps/recordings work in their self-hosted version, though.

Hey, congrats on the initiative!

How you can make this more useful is by improving the messaging on your site. I looked at your hero section and I had no idea what your software does, who it does it for, why it does it and why should I care.

Since the hero section did not grab my attention, as a web visitor, I had 0 interest in investing more time/energy into reading the rest of the page to find the thread of relevancy. So I closed the tab.

Without the additional context you've put here on HN, I would have no idea what Pitch Forge is about.

Here's how I would rewrite it.

> Hero

Heading: Generate a pitch deck for your startup that gets you funding, fast

Subheading: Our AI is trained on the best decks to create a narrative that will have investors *begging* to meet you

> How it works?

1. It takes less than 5min

2. You get an E2E product from script, to powerpoint, etc...

3. Our narrative will 10x your positioning and speed up funding journey

> Why us?

1. First-time founders struggle to raise and it kills their businesses

2. The first point of contact is usually an intro or a deck. If deck isn't compelling enough, investors won't take meeting. No meeting = no check.

3. By improving your pitch, your will get more meetings. More meetings = more checks etc....

This is already I meaningful step-up. Now I know exactly what your software does (helps create fundraising pitch decks), who it does this for (startup founders, probably first-timers), why it does it (no money kills businesses), why should I care (I should care if I want to raise money from investors and I want my business to not die)

I agree with this assessment. The copy is a little to generalized. Just by adding the word Startup to your headline, a reader would get a better understanding about what you do. Personally, I would drop the phrase Artificial Intelligence from the headline. I don't think it's necessary. Instead you should put the benefits you listed in its place.
