Feedback

Three strengths, three gaps, one decision.

Ask mentors, advisors and experts for written feedback on your deck or your raise. Every answer comes in the same shape, so you can act on it: what to keep, what to fix, and whether they would take the meeting.

How it works

Ask once, hear from several people

  1. 1Ask

    Your startup, its stage and sector, and what to look at: your deck as a tracked link, a Fundability result, or a question.

  2. 2It reaches the reviewers

    Every reviewer sees it in their queue, with your stage and sector on it, the least answered requests first.

  3. 3They read and answer

    With a deck, you see which slides each reviewer read and for how long, the same as any other investor link.

  4. 4You act on it

    Each answer in the same shape, side by side. Mark the ones that helped, and close the request when you have enough.

Why a fixed shape

Feedback you can compare and act on

Long free-form notes are hard to weigh against each other and easy to ignore. Three and three can be read in a minute, set side by side across reviewers, and turned into a list of changes. When three reviewers name the same gap, that is the one to fix first.

The decision

One of three, said plainly

I would take the meeting

The case is there. Go and raise; the gaps are things to tighten, not reasons to wait.

Not yet: fix the gaps first

Something on the list would stop a partner. Fix it before the deck goes to the investors you most want.

Not for me, but worth pitching others

The reviewer is the wrong investor for it, not the company. Worth sending to the people who back this kind of business.

What to send

A deck, a result, or a question

For reviewers

Questions

What does it cost?

Nothing, for founders or reviewers.

Who answers?

Mentors, advisors and experts listed on Millionrounds whose profile an editor approved. Your request reaches every reviewer's queue with its stage and sector, the least answered requests first.

What can I send?

Your deck, as a tracked link from Deck Tracking, so you see which slides each reviewer read. Or a Fundability Test result. Or just a question about your raise.

Why always three and three?

Because it can be acted on. Long free-form feedback is hard to compare and easy to ignore; three strengths say what to keep, three gaps say what to fix, and the decision says how urgent it is.

Is it public?

No. A request and its answers are seen by you and the reviewers who answer it, and nobody else.
