Page 6 of the Aurora Robotics seed round deck, The ask: 4 million dollars to reach 100 warehouses. Of three investors, Sarah Chen of Northline Ventures read all seven pages and reached The ask. David Park of Northline, a new reader on the same link, stopped at page 4, Product. Emma Fischer of Brightwater Capital, reading on her phone, stopped at page 3 after 0:58.

The job

Send the deck, then wait for news.

A pitch goes out to a list of investors and comes back as silence or a meeting request. You cannot tell who read past Traction, who reached The ask, or whether anyone else opened it.

A spreadsheet of investors without Decktrace. Four funds, each with a contact and the day the deck was sent. The columns for opened, reached the ask and new readers hold only question marks.

New readers

See new readers when your link is shared further.

When your link is shared further, a new reader shows up with their own pages and time. Here David Park appears on the same link as Sarah, and you see that he stopped at Product, before The ask.

  • A new row for every new reader
  • Every reader's pages and time, side by side
  • Labelled by how they opened it
Two readers at Northline Ventures, page by page. Sarah Chen read all seven pages over two visits, 6 minutes 12 seconds, with Traction the longest at 2:05. David Park appeared as a new reader on the same link on Monday at 15:26. He read Cover 0:12, Traction 0:41, Market 0:22 and Product 0:25, 1 minute 40 seconds in all, and stopped at Product without reaching Team, The ask or Contact.

Time on every page

See how long they stayed on Traction and The ask.

Decktrace measures the active time on each page and how far down each reader scrolled. The pages that carry your round, Traction and The ask, get a closer look. An interaction heatmap shows where readers looked and clicked on each page.

Sarah Chen's 6 minutes 12 seconds, split by page: Cover 0:18, Traction 2:05, Market 0:52, Product 1:10, Team 0:34, The ask 1:01 and Contact 0:12. Below, the two pages that carry the round: Traction, the most read page at 2:05, and The ask at 1:01. She scrolled to the end of both pages.

Updates

Update the numbers without resending.

New traction this week? Publish a new version and the same link shows it on every next visit. You see which version each investor read, and an approved translation is marked out of date when its source page changes.

  • One link for the whole round
  • A version history that shows what changed
  • Translations marked out of date when the source changes
The version history of the deck at the same link. Version 2, published today at 11:30 and now live, updates Traction from 40 to 46 warehouses live. Sarah Chen sees version 2 on her next visit, and the Turkish translation of page 2 is marked out of date until you approve it again. Version 1 was the first share on Monday at 09:00, read by three investors.

Next version

Turn your answers into the next version.

After you answer an investor's question, Decktrace suggests where that answer belongs in the deck and drafts the addition. You edit it, approve it and publish it as a new version on the same link. Next reply, which suggests who to contact and what to send, is coming soon.

  • Starts from your own answers
  • A draft you edit and approve
  • Nothing is sent or published for you
A Next version card for page 6, The ask. Question: David Park of Northline Ventures asked on page 6 what the 4 million dollars pay for first. Your answer: hiring 12 engineers comes first, then Picker v2. Suggested place: page 6, under Hire, add that engineers come first. Your call: you edit, approve and publish it as version 2, and when a later investor asks something similar your answer is offered as a starting point for the reply. You decide, and nothing is published for you.

Questions

Fundraising, answered.

No. Investors open your link in a browser, on any screen. You can ask for an email and password, or an email code, before the deck opens; that is how a reader is named in your trace. Readers see a short notice about what is measured.

A new reader appears on the same link, with their own pages and time. How they are labelled depends on how they got in: an open link shows an anonymous reader, an email and password shows the email they entered, and an email code shows a verified email. Each reader also shows device, reading language and an approximate location, estimated from the connection.

Yes. Publish a new version and the same link shows it on the next visit. You see which version each reader read, and an approved translation is marked out of date when its source page changes.

No. Decktrace shows what happened: opens, return visits, time on each page and new readers. It never labels or scores readers. After you answer a question, it suggests where the answer belongs in the deck, and you decide.
