Question 1

Is Ask Grumpy really free?

Accepted Answer

Your first question is free, with no sign-up. Create a free account to keep going within its usage limits. Paid plans are available when you need more.

Question 2

Who sees my deck when I post it?

Accepted Answer

Investors see an anonymous Grumpy Raise listing with your sector, stage, score and one liner. Your deck is not a public download. Investors request access. For a score without a listing, use the private Grumpy Score page.

Question 3

Is my deck stored or shared?

Accepted Answer

Your deck is analysed by AI and never shared with investors. We keep your score and report so you can come back to them, not to pass your deck around.

Question 4

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

No. I've seen thousands of decks. Your idea isn't the valuable part, your execution is. If an NDA is a dealbreaker, I'm not your person.

Question 5

Who scores it, AI or David?

Accepted Answer

The free score is done by AI trained on 30 years of my deals, decks and mistakes. If you want me to look at it personally, book a session.

Question 6

Can David introduce me to investors?

Accepted Answer

If your company is genuinely investable and I believe in it, yes. But I won't make introductions to companies that aren't ready. My reputation depends on it.

The honest no, before the expensive one.
