Dropbox is one of the most trusted file storage tools in the world. Founders use it because it's reliable, familiar, and easy to share. But reliable storage and investor-ready infrastructure are two different things. Dropbox doesn't know what documents your investors expect. It doesn't score your readiness. It doesn't alert you when someone opens your deck or tell you which slide lost their attention. DealVue does all of that — and it takes less than an hour to set up.

You need reliable cloud storage for internal team files
You're sharing large assets like design files or video with collaborators
You're not yet in active investor conversations
File sync across devices is your primary requirement
You're actively fundraising or preparing to
You want investors to experience a professional data room, not a shared folder
You need to know exactly who opened what and for how long
You want AI to score your readiness and flag gaps before any investor sees your room
Investor Pulse gives you investor data room analytics at the slide level — not just whether they opened it, but how long they stayed on each page and in what order. Tailor your follow-up to what they actually read, not what you hope they read.
Time per slide
See exactly how long each investor spent on every page — from the cover slide to the ask.
Attention heatmap
Which documents across your data room are getting the most attention — and which ones are being skipped.
All documents tracked
Works across every file in your data room — pitch deck, financial model, cap table, and supporting materials.
Every investor gets their own unique VuePort access link. Every interaction is logged individually — sessions, duration, documents viewed, and timestamps. No shared links. No aggregated data.
Individual activity timeline
Sessions, duration, and documents viewed — per investor, per visit.
Hot / Cooling / Active status
At-a-glance intent signals so you know which investors to prioritize today.
Device-verified access
You know it was them — not a forwarded link. Each access is cryptographically tied to the invited device.
No account. No password. No friction for the investor — and no ambiguity for you. Every VuePort link is cryptographically tied to the invited email and device. The moment Sarah opens it, you know it's her.
Unique per-investor link
Every invitation generates a distinct token. No shared links. No way to accidentally grant access twice.
Three-factor verification
IP address, user agent, and device fingerprint — all checked against the original invitation before access is granted.
Timestamped access log
Every open is recorded with IP, device, and timestamp. A complete, auditable trail from day one.
You invite sarah@sequoia.com
DealVue generates a unique token tied to Sarah's email and sends her the VuePort link.
Sarah opens the link
No account required. One click. Device fingerprint captured on first open.
Device verified
Access granted — identity confirmed
Email matches invitation. Device fingerprint stored. Every future visit verified against this record.

Holy shit! DealVue is amazing. Clara, the AI, gave incredible insight and a slide-by-slide analysis of my deck that was spot on. It even identified specific gaps in our founding team's background that I hadn't explicitly addressed yet. It pretty much mirrors my own analysis of my own strengths and weaknesses.
