CloakShare
Use Case
Pitch Deck Sharing
Share pitch decks with investors securely. Track who opened your deck, which slides they focused on, and prevent unauthorized forwarding with dynamic watermarks and email gating.
Higher response rate when founders follow up with slide-level engagement data
Of pitch decks get forwarded at least once without the founder's knowledge
Cost to start tracking pitch deck engagement with CloakShare free tier
The problem
Every fundraising round involves sharing your pitch deck with dozens of investors. Without tracking, you have no idea who opened it, who forwarded it, or which slides resonated. CloakShare gives you per-investor analytics, dynamic watermarks, and automatic link expiry so your strategy stays confidential and your follow-ups are data-driven.
Why CloakShare
Know exactly which investors opened your deck and how long they spent on each slide
Prevent forwarding with email-gated links that require verification
Dynamic watermarks overlay the viewer's email on every slide, deterring screenshots
Set links to expire after your round closes so decks stop circulating
Share product demo videos alongside your deck in one tracked link
Replace DocSend at a fraction of the cost with no per-seat pricing
How it works

Documents and video in one platform
CloakShare is the only secure sharing platform that combines document and video sharing with per-viewer analytics. Upload your PDF or presentation alongside a video walkthrough. Both are tracked, watermarked, and protected with the same access controls. No other tool does this.
Frequently asked questions
How is CloakShare different from DocSend for pitch decks?
CloakShare is open source, API-first, supports video sharing alongside documents, and has no per-seat pricing. DocSend charges $65/user/month, lacks video support, and is a closed platform. CloakShare also offers self-hosting for complete data control.
Can investors view my pitch deck on mobile?
Yes. The CloakShare viewer is fully responsive and works on any device with a modern browser. Documents are rendered as canvas images that load quickly on mobile connections.
Can I include a product demo video with my pitch deck?
Yes. CloakShare is the only platform that handles both documents and video in one link. Upload your demo video and it is transcoded to adaptive HLS streaming with watermarks and watch-time analytics.
What analytics do I get for my pitch deck?
Per-viewer data including: which slides were viewed, time spent per slide, total viewing time, number of visits, device and location info, and video watch completion. Real-time webhooks notify you the moment an investor opens your deck.
