What you get

The full category baseline. Nothing behind a paywall.

You already know what a data room tool does. RoundOS ships that whole baseline free, then tells you what the engagement means and what to do about it.

01

One link per investor

Create a unique tracked link for each fund. Every open carries a name. You never stare at "7 views" wondering which of nine funds came back twice.

02

Page-by-page analytics

Time per slide, the drop-off point, return visits, downloads, device and city. You see the exact slide where a partner stopped reading.

03

A real investor data room

Branded, sectioned and investor-facing, not a Drive folder. Email gate, NDA signing, access requests, per-investor room links and view-only controls.

04

Update behind the link

Replace the file, and every link you already sent serves the new version. Version history shows whether v4 held attention where v3 lost it.

The difference

DocSend answers "who opened it?" RoundOS answers "what do I do?"

Every meaningful open gets an AI read: what happened, the evidence behind it, and a suggested next move. Act on it or ignore it. It's your round.

What it means
This is an internal evaluation, not a skim. Dana came back a day later for the finance slides, and a second Meridian partner just opened the deck.

What it means
Silence four days after a warm intro usually means the email sank, not that the answer is no. A light, specific nudge is the right move.

How it works

From a PDF to a tracked room in two minutes.

01

Upload your deck

PDF, PPTX or a Google Slides link. We split the pages so your analytics go slide by slide.

02

Create a link or a room

One tracked link per investor, or a branded room with sections. Pick an access preset and copy.

03

Watch the signal come in

First-open alert, time per page, return visits, NDA signatures. Every event carries the investor's name.

04

Get the next move

An AI read on the engagement, with a follow-up draft you can send when you're ready.

Why it's free

Document sharing is a commodity. We refuse to charge rent on it.

RoundOS makes money on the Operator, the AI that runs your round once the opens start coming in. Your deck link costs us cents and costs you nothing. That's the whole model, in the open.
