Never wonder if they read your doc again. Track engagement for proposals, decks & contracts to know when and how to follow up.

We analyzed 10,000+ pitch deck sessions in 2025. The data is brutal: 68% of decks are opened, but only 22% are actually read to the end. Most investors don't "read"—they scan. Here are 10 benchmarks from DocBeacon to help you win your next round: 🧵

@yashpanditrao @shlokparab @3FdotVC @RaiseGate If DocSend pricing is the main blocker, give DocBeacon a spin. Has all the document tracking and access controls you'd expect, and the free tier easily covers standard everyday sharing.

@RafalTomal Honestly, the silence is what kills you.
I started tracking proposal views (ended up building DocBeacon for this) mostly just to save my own sanity. Seeing whether they spent 5 minutes staring at the pricing vs never even opening the link at least stops the guessing game.

What I love most about GPT-5.6 Sol is the jump in reliability. Less explaining, less fixing, more building. It feels like a real upgrade for daily coding.

[Howard @ DocBeacon @Howard_Ray_Shaw]

@yelston 100% feel this. The worst part is always the “did they even open it?” uncertainty after sending at 1AM.

Built DocBeacon to fix exactly that :track views, reading time, and page-level engagement on proposals so you know when (and if) to follow up.

@ColinGardiner We've been building DocBeacon for exactly this. Secure sharing, page-level analytics, heatmaps, and a generous free plan. Would love to hear what features you're looking for.

@hridoyreh Tried this twice, got rejected both times for "AI writing." Looks like their editorial review is just running text through an oversensitive AI checker. speechless.

@kreativeBrain Clients don't just buy services; they buy the feeling of being understood. A copy-pasted document simply screams that they are just another invoice, not a priority.

[Howard @ DocBeacon @Howard_Ray_Shaw]

@hridoyreh absolutely, no 😂

@ardent__dev AI is coding expert now, so ...

@benln so many great products 👍

[Howard @ DocBeacon @Howard_Ray_Shaw]

@BrianMRey Zero dollars just means you pay with your time. I’d personally DM my first 100 ideal customers and turn them into evangelists by offering extreme, unscalable value.
