If you're fundraising, use a secure sharing platform

[prinston]

I can't say it enough. Tools like DocSend have enhanced our fundraising experience tenfold. Firstly, you get to see what people are reading and what they spend the most time on. You can revise your decks and docs based the nonverbal feedback. Secondly, you get a sense of whose interested, and when to follow up. Before meetings we also know whether and what people are interested in. We've taken meetings we're we know people haven't looked at the deck and we tailor our pitch appropriately. Third, and finally, if you're someone with multiple ideas or have fundraised a couple of times, you start to understand what sticks. For example, in my first company, people spent on average 1.5 mins on my deck, now they spend 6-7 minutes!
