SimVC Fundraising Preparation
SimVC is a SaaS platform that helps startup founders prepare for investor meetings by simulating investor reactions to their pitch decks. Users upload a deck or paste their story, and the system runs a 'Reality Check' that pressure-tests the evidence and arguments, producing ranked objections, missing evidence, and questions to rehearse. The simulation engine uses up to 300 separately tracked investor profiles across 16 psychology-grounded decision styles. Each profile evaluates the same material through a decision lens, and relevant profiles advance through conditional rounds such as cold read, challenge, and evidence reconciliation. Repeated wording is consolidated into actionable findings, avoiding duplicate opinions. The platform incorporates stage-aware context from more than 11,500 disclosed private-offering records to calibrate the evaluation bar for the specific fundraising stage and round size. Outputs include ranked pass reasons, a diligence dossier linking blockers to missing proof and deck changes, and a partner-meeting drill. SimVC offers a free Reality Check with no credit card required, and paid plans for ongoing use. Decks are private to the account by default, and simulation calls request zero data retention. The service is EU-hosted and includes an API and MCP for developers or funds.

Problem solved
Founders often discover missing proof points or weak arguments only during high-stakes investor meetings, when it is too late to revise the pitch. SimVC solves this by simulating investor reactions ahead of time, surfacing ranked objections, missing evidence, and questions to rehearse so founders can strengthen their deck and preparation before the real meeting.
