What file formats work for deck upload, and how does deck feedback work?

Deck upload accepts PDF files only, up to 50MB. Your first deck gets free feedback in up to 10 minutes; a new deck is scored when you click Refresh feedback.

Deck upload accepts PDF files only, up to 50MB. After your first upload, SeedForge generates free feedback on your business and the content of your deck. Feedback takes up to 10 minutes to generate.

If your deck lives in Notion, Figma, Canva, or Google Slides, export it as a PDF first.

How to upload your deck

  1. Create your account. Deck upload is part of the signup flow at seedforge.com.

  2. Upload your PDF. If you skipped it during signup, your main dashboard prompts you to upload your deck.

  3. Open Feedback > SeedForge's Feedback. The top bar shows that your deck is processing. The full feedback section populates once processing finishes.

What the feedback covers

The feedback covers your business and the substance of your arguments. SeedForge reads your deck for the claims you make and how well they hold up. Slide design and layout stay outside its scope.

Your first deck upload also sets your SeedForge Score.

Uploading a new version

To replace your deck, open Profile & Proof > SeedForge Profile and click Upload new pitch deck at the top of the page, next to Edit your profile. The new deck replaces the old one as soon as the upload finishes. Anyone opening your SeedForge Profile sees it right away, so you never need to resend links. The Upload new pitch deck card at the bottom of Feedback > SeedForge's Feedback does the same. If you swap the deck inside Edit your profile instead, click Save changes at the top of the page; until you do, the new file stays off your profile.

A new deck updates your profile and keeps your current score until you ask for a new one. To score it, open Feedback > SeedForge's Feedback and click Refresh feedback at the top of the page. The button appears once your profile holds a Pitch deck newer than your last feedback run; supporting documents never make it appear. You get 5 runs in any rolling 7 days, and a run that fails is given back. Your score updates when the run completes, usually in about 5 minutes. The AI Session goes deeper: it records your pitch and adds a fuller analysis, including any extra materials you added. Your first AI Session is free. After the 30-day trial, additional AI Sessions are $25 each.

Note: If your upload fails, reduce the file size if it is close to 50MB and try again. If it still fails, email support@seedforge.com.

Quick answers

Can I upload a PowerPoint, Google Slides, Notion, or Figma deck?

Export it as a PDF first. Deck upload accepts PDF files only, up to 50MB.

How long does deck feedback take?

Feedback takes up to 10 minutes to generate. Open Feedback > SeedForge's Feedback to check the processing state and results.

Does uploading a new deck refresh my feedback?

Only when you ask for it. The new deck updates your profile, then Refresh feedback at the top of Feedback > SeedForge's Feedback scores it. You get 5 runs in any rolling 7 days.

I uploaded a new deck but my profile still shows the old one. Why?

You probably uploaded it inside Edit your profile and left without clicking Save changes at the top of the page. Use Upload new pitch deck at the top of Profile & Proof > SeedForge Profile instead; it attaches the deck as soon as the upload finishes.
