Pitch decks require weekly updates during fundraising, yet traditional methods (email attachments, new links) break investor access and lose tracking continuity. According to fundraising data, founders updating decks without changing links maintain 40% higher investor engagement.

Peony enables updatable pitch decks: upload new versions anytime, same link works forever, track engagement across versions, compare version performance, and maintain professional presentation. Purpose-built for dynamic fundraising.

Here's your complete guide to sending updatable pitch decks in 2025.
