Australian entrepreneur Craig Astill has launched IQ Pitch, an AI-powered platform developed by HelpMarket IP that delivers institutional-style investment readiness analysis in seconds. Designed for founders, inventors, entrepreneurs, investors and fund managers, IQ Pitch aims to help users strengthen business opportunities before approaching investors.
— Australian entrepreneur Craig Astill, through HelpMarket IP, has announced the launch of IQ Pitch, an artificial intelligence platform designed to help founders, inventors, entrepreneurs and innovation teams review, strengthen and refine their pitch decks before presenting them to investors, accelerators, incubators, commercialisation programs and business mentors.
Available globally at IQPitch.com, the platform uses artificial intelligence to analyse pitch decks and supporting business documents, providing structured educational feedback in approximately sixty seconds.
Developed by HelpMarket IP, IQ Pitch has been designed to help users communicate their ideas more clearly by identifying areas that may benefit from greater explanation, stronger structure and additional supporting information.
Helping Founders Prepare More Effectively
Preparing a pitch deck is often one of the most challenging stages of building a new business or commercialising an idea.
Founders invest significant time developing products, refining business models, researching markets and preparing presentations. However, many have limited opportunities to receive detailed feedback before presenting their ideas to external audiences.
Craig Astill said this challenge became one of the motivations behind developing IQ Pitch.
“Throughout my career I’ve met many talented founders, inventors and entrepreneurs with outstanding ideas who simply wanted better feedback before sharing their work with others,” Astill said.
“We wanted to create a platform that encourages better preparation by helping users review how their ideas are communicated. IQ Pitch is designed to support learning, refinement and continuous improvement.”
An Educational AI Review Platform
Rather than focusing solely on visual design, IQ Pitch reviews business documents across a broad range of communication and commercial topics that are commonly included within startup presentations.
The platform may provide observations relating to:
- Problem definition
- Value proposition
- Market overview
- Business model explanation
- Competitive positioning
- Team presentation
- Go-to-market strategy
- Presentation structure
- Business strengths
- Areas that may benefit from additional explanation
Each report is designed to encourage users to review their presentation from multiple perspectives while identifying opportunities to improve clarity and communication.
The feedback generated by the platform is intended to support learning and preparation rather than replace professional mentoring or independent advice.
Supporting Continuous Improvement
Each AI-generated report may include educational features such as:
- Presentation Readiness Score
- SWOT Analysis
- Presentation Structure Review
- Communication Strengths
- Areas for Improvement
- Missing Content Suggestions
- Reviewer Question Prompts
- AI-generated Recommendations
Founder Members can also access additional tools including historical report tracking, version comparisons, document history and multiple monthly analyses as they continue developing and refining their presentations.
Designed for Australia’s Innovation Community
Although initially developed for startup founders, IQ Pitch has been designed to support a broad range of users across Australia’s innovation ecosystem and internationally, including:
- Founders
- Entrepreneurs
- Inventors
- Startup Teams
- Innovation Programs
- Accelerators
- Incubators
- Universities
- Commercialisation Programs
- Business Mentors
The platform is intended to complement existing educational and mentoring programs by providing structured AI-generated observations that users can incorporate into their preparation process.
Developed by Craig Astill
IQ Pitch is the latest platform developed by HelpMarket IP, the Australian technology company founded by Craig Astill.
HelpMarket IP develops artificial intelligence software designed to help businesses organise information, improve workflows and support better business communication through practical AI applications.
The launch follows the introduction of other independent initiatives developed by Astill, including The Sator Group and Satorian Systems, which explore the application of artificial intelligence across connected systems, operational intelligence and environmental technologies.
While each platform serves a different purpose, they share a common philosophy of using artificial intelligence to help people better understand complex information.
Astill believes artificial intelligence will increasingly become a practical tool that helps founders prepare more effectively, communicate more clearly and continually improve how new ideas are presented.
“Artificial intelligence has enormous potential to support entrepreneurs—not by replacing creativity or human judgement, but by helping people review their work from different perspectives before important conversations take place,” Astill said.
“If IQ Pitch helps someone explain their idea more clearly, identify information they’ve overlooked or simply feel more prepared before presenting, then it has achieved exactly what it was designed to do.”
IQ Pitch is now available worldwide through IQPitch.com, where users can upload a pitch deck and receive an introductory AI-generated educational analysis.
