For Founders

Docsend is good for tracking analytics on a PDF.  Stories are great at showcasing multiple types of content and tracking analytics across all of that content from one link. You can use formats that you’re familiar with and convey your message better, like Notion. Investors love Stories because everything is in one place and updated in realtime throughout the fundraise process.

A lot of reasons:
‍
1. Emails and attachments go stale. Stories can be updated in real-time without any involvement from your recipient
‍
2. They’re not easily share- able. Giving the right context in long mail threads, attachments going missing because of a reply instead of a forward end up creating a mess.
‍
3. They don’t give you instant, deep insights. When you send a Story, it's the one place you can use as a central destination for your materials. You know who opens it, when, and for how long, making it simple to figure out who’s really paying attention.
‍
4. They’re not secure. Emails don’t have any restrictions on forwarding. Stories can be locked down to specific emails or domains whitelists or blacklists, with passcodes, or email gates.

1. Who opens it - Discover who you send it to and who else gets invited to view it
2. When is it opened - Get instant email alerts
3. How long did they see what - how engaged were they with a specific slide in your deck, how much time did they spend on each step

It’s up to you. You can choose to add different levels of security within each Story - requiring a verified email, being email and domain whitelist, not being on the blacklist.

Yes! We’ve got a Notion-inspired editor that lets you add in formatted text, images, links and more. You can write out something small like meeting notes or make a larger comprehensive document as well. If you have something written out already in Notion, Google Docs or similar you can embed that directly too.
