Jan founded Bizznote and built it end to end: the AI screening investors use on inbound pitch decks, the scoring criteria worked out with the funds that use it, and the founder side you are reading now. Every post on this site comes from the same place: what real investor screenings show founders getting wrong, checked against published research on how investors actually read decks. Examples are generalized and no post describes a specific company.
He reads the founder feedback on every review himself. If a post is wrong, or you want one written, write to jan@bizznote.com.
