Secure document sharing for startups and founders
Send the deck. Keep the idea.
You have sent your deck to twenty investors. Three replied. You do not know whether the others opened it, forwarded it to an operating partner, or filed it next to your competitor's. GCN.ONE encrypts the deck in your browser before it is uploaded, so only the investor you named can open it - and you see the moment each one does.
A forwarded deck is a deck you no longer control
An attachment is a copy. Once it is in an inbox it can be forwarded, saved to a shared drive, or read by whoever later gets into that mailbox - and none of that shows up anywhere you can see. For a company whose main asset is what it knows, that is a real exposure rather than a theoretical one.
Sharing a link from a consumer cloud drive is not much better: anyone holding the link can open it, the link usually outlives the conversation, and you learn nothing about who used it. Those services were built for convenience, never for confidentiality.
How a raise works with GCN.ONE
Built for a raise
The delivery record, in plain terms
Every open and every download is recorded with a timestamp, and for any document that was actually downloaded you can issue a delivery certificate: a cryptographically signed record of what was delivered, to whom, and when. Anyone can verify it at our public Verify page, without a GCN.ONE account.
During a raise this matters less as evidence and more as information. It tells you where the interest is while you still have time to act on it.
What we can and cannot see
We cannot read your deck, your financials or your cap table, and that is structural rather than a policy. What our servers do see is metadata: who sent what to whom, when, and how large it was. All infrastructure runs in the European Union under EU jurisdiction and is built to GDPR standards.
