When a link is opened on more than one device in more than one place, it is flagged, so a forwarded deck still tells you whose link it was. The visit ## Where they read it, and on what Each reading comes with the visit around it. A read at 23:40 their time on a phone says something different from a read at 10:00 on a company network, and a second visit two days later says more than either. The IP address is never stored. Locations come from the network, not from the reader's device, and the reader page tells them what is collected. - **Where:** London, United Kingdom - **Their time:** Tuesday, 10:14 - **Network:** Company network - **Device:** Laptop · macOS · Chrome - **Came from:** Email link - **Read:** 4m 12s · all 12 slides - **History:** Opened Mon Came back Tue Finished Downloaded ## Your controls **Ask for an email** The reader gives an address before the first slide, so an unnamed link still has a name. **Allow download, or not** Off by default: they read in the browser. Turn it on per link when a fund asks for the file. **Expiry** Never, or 7, 30 or 90 days. A link for a meeting does not need to work next quarter. **Switch a link off** One click, and that link stops opening. The others keep working. **New version, same links** Upload the updated deck and every link shows it. Old readings stay with the version that was read. **Clean numbers** Your own views and known bots never count. ## Works with the rest of your raise [Fundraising CRM **Readings on the investor's card** Make the link from their card, and every read shows on it, so the board tells you who to call.](https://millionrounds.com/fundraising-crm)[List Your Startup **A deck investors can ask for** Attach it to your listing as private, on request or open.

You can ask for their email first, or not. Is it free? Yes. Upload a deck, make as many links as you like, and see every reading, at no cost. What do you record about a reader? Time on each slide, how far they got, when they came back, and the visit itself: country and city, device and browser, and whether the network is a company's, a home ISP or a cloud. The IP address is never stored, and the reader page says what is collected. Do my own views count? No. Your own readings and known bots are left out, so the numbers are investors. Can I change the deck after sending it? Yes. Upload a new version and every link shows it at once. Earlier readings stay attached to the version that was read. Is my deck public? No. Reader pages are kept out of search engines and only open for someone holding a link you made. Listing it for investors is a separate, optional step.
