Through Pitchdeck, we monitor investment trends in real-time without separate news crawling. Unlike the past where we had to manually collect scattered HR and financial data across multiple enterprise information services, we now obtain data faster and more accurately through Pitchdeck. Specifically, the employment status showing monthly employee departures/joinings helps gauge the company atmosphere, and it's useful to check most financial statements of unlisted companies without requesting them from the companies. Also, shareholder lists and registered officer information are available, making it easy to review existing shares and establish contact points with companies.
Since using Pitchdeck, we no longer need to use expensive credit rating agency corporate lookup services we used before. Pitchdeck's data quality and quantity are superior and richer, and from a usability perspective, it's overwhelmingly better than other services. Also, it's very impressive how quickly service updates and improvements are made reflecting customer requirements. For example, features that allow sorting to view only AI-related companies that have turned operating profit positive and have annual sales of over 5 billion won are very useful functions from an investor's perspective.
To properly understand a company, comparing it with other companies is as important as examining one company in depth. For example, comparing sales, operating profit, and growth rate relative to investment with peer companies allows much more accurate assessment of the company's current position. Originally, we had to navigate multiple sites for such work. However, most services had poor UX, requiring separate organization in Excel. Moreover, the data was often inaccurate, requiring cross-checking. Pitchdeck solves all these processes intuitively in one place. You can grasp the general picture of a company of interest in 5 minutes. If you save information about companies of interest, you can understand them with just one or two clicks. I'm confident there's no better company screening service than this.
Unlike listed companies, startup data suffers from severe information asymmetry, and despite having vast data, comparison between core data is difficult due to different update timing between company information. However, Pitchdeck solves these problems by providing reliable data updates quickly and accurately. Also, it provides sorting functions through Bottom Up Screener, enabling users to easily and accurately check company lists and related data that meet desired conditions. In a rapidly changing market environment, it's a useful service for quickly checking major company data updates and investment market changes, greatly helping with quick decision-making and follow-up management.
We needed a function to sort unlisted companies by setting desired conditions, and upon learning that Pitchdeck provides this function, we immediately introduced it as a paid service. This helps save time by enabling faster and more efficient Deal Sourcing. Also, unlike existing credit rating services, the UI is optimized for VCs, making it very convenient to use. We can grasp startup financial indicators and basic company information at a glance, so we always get help from Pitchdeck before, after, or even during meetings. Additionally, it was impressive how quickly they reflect requirements when we request desired features.
When meetings with new companies are scheduled or when deciding whether to proceed with meetings, I always first go to Pitchdeck to quickly review the overall content. I particularly check content that can directly or indirectly evaluate organizational satisfaction, such as turnover indicators or Jobplanet ratings, and also meaningfully check changes in registered directors. Also, being able to conveniently check registration change information without separately viewing corporate registration certificates is a major strength of Pitchdeck!
