💼 Investor-Style Startup Screening See your startup through an investor's eyes. 🚀 Most founders know their business deeply. Few know exactly how investors are likely to read it. I'm an analyst at DueCap, a Silicon Valley startup screening firm. We help investors review startup opportunities by analyzing pitch decks and supporting materials, identifying inconsistencies and information gaps, and preparing structured screening briefs. I offer founders the same investor-style perspective. ‼️ This is not pitch deck design, copywriting, or fundraising coaching. I will not rewrite your story. I will review your startup the way an investor is likely to - looking for missing information, weak assumptions, inconsistencies, unsupported claims, and the questions that naturally arise during an investment review. ✅ What you'll receive • Independent investor-style review of your startup • Analysis of your pitch deck and any supporting materials you choose to provide • Identification of inconsistencies, information gaps, and weak assumptions • Key questions investors are likely to ask • A structured written screening brief you can use before investor conversations ℹ️ What I need from you Just send me your pitch deck. That's enough to begin. If additional documents would materially improve the review, I'll let you know. Best for • Pre-seed, seed, and Series A startups • Founders preparing to raise capital • Teams preparing for investor meetings or demo days • Founders who want an independent second opinion before fundraising 👁️ Want to see exactly what the output looks like? A sample DueCap screening brief is included in my portfolio.

One founder came to me after presenting to investors three different times without getting a single commitment. "𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕖𝕖𝕕𝕓𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝕚𝕤 𝕒𝕝𝕨𝕒𝕪𝕤 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕒𝕞𝕖," 𝕙𝕖 𝕤𝕒𝕚𝕕. "𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑒𝓈𝓈, 𝒷𝓊𝓉 𝓈𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒾𝓈𝓃'𝓉 𝒸𝑜𝓃𝓃𝑒𝒸𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔". The problem wasn't his idea. It wasn't his market................. It wasn't even his numbers............... His presentation simply wasn't telling the story investors needed to believe. That happens more often than most businesses realize. Executives don't approve strategies because slides look impressive. Investors don't fund companies because animations are beautiful. Clients don't sign contracts because the colors match your brand. They move forward when the information is structured with clarity, supported by logic, and delivered with confidence. That is where I come in. I help startups, founders, executives, consultants, and growing businesses transform complex ideas into presentations that simplify decisions, build credibility, and inspire action. Every project starts with understanding your audience, defining the message that matters most, and building a presentation that leads them naturally toward the decision you want them to make. Whether you're preparing an Investor Pitch Deck, Fundraising Presentation, Board Presentation, Sales Deck, Business Proposal, Company Profile, Product Launch, Marketing Presentation, or Executive Report, every slide is designed with one objective of helping your audience understand faster, trust sooner, and act with confidence.

From there, I organize your ideas into a logical narrative, eliminate unnecessary complexity, strengthen the flow of information, and create visuals that reinforce the message instead of competing with it. Every slide has a purpose. Every visual supports the story. Every design decision contributes to a business objective. I work with startups, SaaS companies, AI businesses, healthcare organizations, consulting firms, financial institutions, real estate companies, ecommerce brands, agencies, and enterprise teams that need presentations capable of winning investment, securing partnerships, closing deals, and aligning stakeholders. When you hire me, you're not simply getting a presentation designer. You're working with someone who understands presentation strategy, business storytelling, visual communication, and decision psychology to create presentations that do more than look exceptional. They help people say yes.

I’ve reviewed 1000s of startup decks, 10+ years of experience in VC in USA in various roles: VC Partner, Head of Investor Relations, 2x founder. I think like an investor, structure like a consultant, write like a strategist, design like a pro. I work with VC, PE funds, startups and businesses of all stages on: 🔴 Sharpening and writing investor narratives that cut through the noise - pitch decks, memos, onepagers and investor materials 🔴 Design that is not decoration. It is hierarchy and intent, and a spark of magic ✨ - Branding, materials design, visual language My CORE PRINCIPLES in investor materials: - Sharp positioning, avoid generics. “Backing exceptional founders who drive innovation” 🤢 must go - Assume people don’t read, they scan. Cut text, use tight bullets, numbers, logos and highlights - Lead with traction, team track record, tangible insights. That is what actually sells My PROCESS: - Materials revision, discovery call with founders - Writing or refining content, iteration-review loops - Polish with professional design after content is set OR - Pitch deck review consultation with honest, practical feedback. Book in my profile 🔴 I maintain relationships with VCs, debt lenders, and family offices and selectively refer aligned deal flow. I am a registered broker-dealer in the USA. I can also lead your fundraising / investor relations if we align. About me: - founder at prophet.partners, investor relations studio - Ex-VC partner at Starta VC & accelerator in NYC ($50M AUM across fund I, fund II, 150+ portfolio companies) - Harvard University: Management in Innovation & Technology executive program - VC Lab: fundraising program for emerging VC fund managers Expertise in: VC, funds, B2C, B2B, SaaS, Consumer, DTC, hardware, apps, deeptech AI, PE deals, venture credit, real estate and more Let’s connect, I’d love to hear your story and see how I can add value.

What does a PitchBooks freelancer do?

A PitchBooks freelancer extracts and organizes private market data from the PitchBook Platform to support investment research and decision-making. This role focuses on building precise datasets of companies, investors, limited partners, or service providers by leveraging advanced search filters and list management tools within the software. The specialist transforms raw platform information into structured formats that analysts and deal teams use for due diligence, market mapping, and competitive analysis.

  • Uploads CSV, XLS, or XLSX files into the PitchBook Platform to create base lists, then refines these inputs by matching them against current platform records to identify specific entities such as venture capital firms or private equity funds. This process ensures that outdated contact information or closed funds are replaced with verified, up-to-date profiles from the PitchBook database.
  • Navigates the Research center and sidebar menus to locate detailed reports on markets, company financials, and fund performance metrics. The freelancer synthesizes this information to answer specific queries about deal activity, valuation trends, or investor participation in particular sectors, ensuring the output aligns with the client’s strategic focus.
  • Uses the PitchBook Excel Plugin for Office 365 or Mac to pull live data directly into spreadsheets, allowing for dynamic updates and deeper quantitative analysis without manual copy-pasting. This workflow produces clean Excel workbooks populated with key metrics, enabling clients to build financial models or track portfolio performance using standardized data fields.
  • Exports matched datasets and research lists in formats compatible with downstream analysis tools, ensuring column headers and data types match the requirements of customer relationship management systems or internal reporting dashboards. The freelancer verifies data integrity before submission to prevent errors in subsequent modeling or outreach campaigns.

How to hire a PitchBooks freelancer on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your research needs clearly to attract freelancers who specialize in the PitchBook Platform. Use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI to draft a precise description in seconds. Describe your data requirements in a few sentences and Uma creates a tailored job post for you. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post to start hiring immediately.

  • Specify whether you need list building from uploaded CSV or XLSX files or direct extraction within the PitchBook Platform.
  • List required deliverables such as matched datasets for companies, investors, or limited partners exported for Excel analysis.
  • Mention proficiency with the PitchBook Excel Plugin for Office 365 if you need live data manipulation in spreadsheets.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Look for proof of experience navigating the PitchBook Research center and exporting clean datasets. Uma runs instant video interviews and builds shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to speed up your review process. Focus on candidates who demonstrate accuracy in matching entity types and handling large data volumes.

  • Check work history for examples of exported lists that supported investment decisions or market analysis workflows.
  • Verify familiarity with PitchBook navigation areas to locate specific reports on funds, service providers, or markets.
  • Confirm ability to refine research lists after uploading initial files to ensure data relevance and completeness.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss specific workflows to gauge their technical fluency with PitchBook tools and Excel integration. Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork Messages to receive an immediate transcript and summary after each session. Ask targeted questions about their approach to data validation and list management.

  • Ask how they handle mismatches when uploading external lists to the PitchBook Platform for matching.
  • Request examples of complex filters they have used to isolate specific investor or company criteria.
  • Discuss their method for cleaning and formatting exported data before handing it off for downstream analysis.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear milestones for list creation, data extraction, and final export formats. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for all communication and project management tasks. Upwork verifies freelancer identities and offers hourly payment protection plus secure project funds to protect your budget.

  • Define the exact entity types needed, such as private equity firms or venture capital funds, for the research list.
  • Agree on the file format for final deliverables, ensuring compatibility with your internal Excel workflows.
  • Establish a timeline for iterative refinements if the initial dataset requires additional filtering or matching.
