Download RiverHow to start

How it works.

River builds 10 to 12 slides in the order YC recommends, with revenue charted from Stripe, your product at work and customers in their own words, plus a one-page summary.

  1. Say what the round buys

    The amount and the milestones it reaches. River suggests an insight slide from your customer calls.

  2. River gathers the proof

    Monthly revenue from Stripe, screenshots of the product doing its job and verbatim customer quotes.

  3. A deck that reads alone

    One point per slide, every number dated with its source in the notes, and a PDF to share when you choose.

What you get.

  • 10 to 12 Slides in YC’s seed order, with revenue charted from Stripe
  • A PDF and a one-page executive summary that use the same numbers
  • Speaker notes naming the source and date behind every number

A few things to know.

Will it make up numbers?

River only uses numbers it can source. Traction is monthly revenue from Stripe, not a cumulative chart, and pilots don’t count as revenue. No projection passes as traction, and no logo appears unless they’re a customer.

Will anyone see it before I do?

River builds the deck in a Fundraise folder and shares or sends nothing, so it’s yours to see first. You decide who gets the PDF.

What does it cost?

It uses your plan’s AI credit, like everything else in River. It works with the Stripe account you already have.
