Evalyze

What is Evalyze?

Evalyze is an AI fundraising platform that helps early-stage founders get investor-ready, sharpen their pitch deck and find investors who fit their startup. The official site describes it as an AI that runs your fundraising, covering startup analysis, deck feedback, investor matching and email outreach in one workspace for pre-seed to Series A founders.

The work is handled by Eva, an AI agent that reviews decks, ranks investor matches and drafts personalised emails. Founders upload a PDF or PowerPoint deck or answer key questions, then receive scores, feedback and a ranked investor list. The site credits Amir M Lavasani as its creator, and a managed service led by former VCs is available for founders who want a team to run the raise. Evalyze was live with a public pricing page when we checked in October 2026.

Key Features

• Investor matching: Evalyze ranks investors against your startup by stage, sector, location, cheque size and investment history. Each match comes with a short explanation of fit, and the investor matching page cites 10K+ verified investors combined with data from sources such as NFX and Crunchbase.
• Pitch deck analysis: Eva gives every uploaded deck a Deck Score from 0 to 100 with slide-by-slide feedback. The pitch coach page says scores break down across 14 areas and include suggested rewrites for weak slides, plus green and red flags investors tend to notice.
• Investor Readiness Score: Evalyze rates startups on a credit-style scale from 350 to 850. Its startup analysis reports score six areas, including team, traction, market opportunity and unit economics, and benchmark them against companies at a similar stage.
• Email outreach: Evalyze drafts personalised investor emails and sends them from your own Gmail inbox after you approve each one. Replies and follow-ups are tracked in the same workspace, and the Pro plan allows up to 15 personalised investor emails a day.
• Manual investor discovery: Evalyze includes a searchable investor directory with filters for stage, sector, geography, cheque size and investor type. Founders can use it alongside AI matching to build and shortlist their own target lists.
• Active Investor Check: Evalyze flags which investors are currently funding so founders avoid dormant funds. This helps a small team spend its limited outreach time on firms that are still writing cheques this cycle.
• Managed fundraising: Evalyze offers a done-for-you service in which former VCs prepare materials, build the pipeline and run outreach. The pricing page lists a 500+ investor pipeline, weekly support and mock pitch coaching, with full Pro access included.

Pros

• Generous free plan: Evalyze Starter costs nothing and needs no card. It includes one fundraising campaign, up to 30 investor matches and three startup analysis reports a month, enough to test the fit before paying.
• Low paid entry price: Evalyze Pro costs $20 a month, or $10 a month on yearly billing. That price adds full investor discovery, pitch coach analyses and two strategy calls a month, which is modest next to typical fundraising consultants.
• Two jobs in one tool: Evalyze combines pitch improvement and investor targeting in a single workspace. Founders fix their deck and readiness gaps first, then move straight into matching and outreach without exporting data between separate apps.
• Clear, explainable scoring: Evalyze shows numeric scores and the reasons behind them. The Deck Score, readiness score and Why This Investor notes give first-time founders a concrete list of fixes rather than vague advice.
• Honest about limits: Evalyze states that it does not invest, promise meetings or guarantee funding. Its own explainer adds that a match does not mean an investor has shown interest, which sets realistic expectations for founders.

Cons

• No guaranteed results: Evalyze cannot promise replies, meetings or funding, as its own site makes clear. Founders still need a credible business and their own follow-up, so the tool shortens research rather than replacing relationship building.
• Few confirmed integrations: Evalyze documents Gmail sending, but we found no confirmed CRM or Outlook integration. Directory reviews also note limited third-party connections, so teams using HubSpot or a spreadsheet pipeline may need manual exports.
• Some features still coming: Evalyze lists Ask Eva and Pitch Practice as launching soon on its pitch coach page. Live conversation and spoken pitch rehearsal are therefore not available yet, and directories mention features still in development.
• Tight free limits: Evalyze Starter caps founders at 30 investor matches per campaign and three stored documents of up to 10 MB. Anyone running an active raise will likely need Pro within a few weeks.
• Narrow audience: Evalyze is built for venture-backed startups raising from VCs and angels. Bootstrapped businesses, grant seekers and companies seeking bank finance will find little value in its investor database and readiness scoring.

Who is Using Evalyze?

• Pre-seed and seed founders: Preparing a first round and finding suitable investors.
• First-time founders: Getting structured feedback on decks and readiness gaps.
• Accelerators and studios: Supporting cohorts of startups through fundraising.
• Busy founding teams: Handing outreach to the managed fundraising service.

Pricing

Evalyze uses a freemium model with a free Starter plan, a $20 Pro plan and custom-priced managed fundraising (official prices, October 2026).

Some directory listings describe the Pro plan with different allowances, such as 10,000+ investor matches and monthly coaching sessions, so rely on the official pricing page. Plan limits on young startups change often, so check the live figures before you upgrade.

What Makes Evalyze Unique?

Evalyze turns fundraising readiness into numbers a founder can act on. A credit-style Investor Readiness Score from 350 to 850 sits beside a 0 to 100 Deck Score, and both feed into how investors are ranked and explained. Most investor databases stop at a list of names, while most deck reviewers stop at feedback. Evalyze links the two, then drafts outreach from your own Gmail account and offers a human-led managed service when a founder would rather hand over the whole raise.

Compatibilities and Integrations

• Platform: Web app that runs in a desktop browser, with no install needed.
• Email: Gmail integration for sending approved outreach from your own inbox.
• Files: Pitch deck uploads in PDF or PowerPoint format.
• Data and export: Investor data drawn from its own database plus sources such as NFX and Crunchbase, with outreach tracking and exports on Pro.

How We Rated It

Summary

Evalyze suits pre-seed to Series A founders who want one place to score their readiness, fix their deck and find investors who fit. Its main limitation is reach beyond Gmail, since we could not confirm CRM or other integrations, and no tool can guarantee meetings. We rate it a good value pick for first-time founders. Start with the free plan and fix your lowest-scoring readiness areas before sending a single investor email.
