The core difference
One reads your slides. One reads your market.
This is not really a rivalry. It is a sequence, and running it backwards is what costs founders a quarter.
Preuve AI
Before the deck exists
- Free Reality Check: 0-100 score in under a minute, no card
- Full $29 report: 10 agents read 50+ live sources at scan time
- Competitors named with real funding and pricing, each linked
- 3 pivots when the verdict is no, so a weak idea costs you minutes
- $499 Investor Package builds the deck, memo, and 18-month model
NUVC
After the deck exists
- Needs a finished pitch deck before it can say anything
- Verifies the team and cross-checks claims, but does not scan your market
- Full investor contacts unlock at 7.0; the published average is 5.8
- Benchmarked against funded Australian and New Zealand peers
- Diagnoses the deck, does not produce one for you
Both publish a distribution
Two honest benchmarks, measuring different things
Credit where it is due: NUVC publishes its average score instead of hiding it, which almost nobody in this category does. The question is what the average is an average of.
Preuve AI · 6,500+ ideas
55
median score across 13 industries
Graded against 6,500+ ideas analyzed since 2026, with only 18.3% earning a go at 70 or above. The thing being measured is the market opportunity, not the presentation of it.

NUVC · 298 decks
5.8
average NuScore out of 10
From their own free benchmark report, across 298 decks and 35 countries. They also publish raise-probability bands: 75% above 8.5, 55% from 7.5 to 8.5, 35% from 6.5 to 7.5. The average deck sits under all three.
0everyone passes100
A 5.8 tells you the deck needs work. It does not tell you whether the work is worth doing, because nothing in the score looked at the market.
Fair assessment
What NUVC does well
If you already have a deck and you are raising, this is a serious tool built by people who published their working.
Calibrated on outcomes
NuScore v5.5 is calibrated on 1,400+ labelled examples from accelerator results, verified raises, and VC deal memos, rather than on what a model thinks a good deck looks like.
Published average
They put the mean score (5.8 across 298 decks) in a free public report. Publishing a distribution that makes your product look demanding is a trust signal, not a marketing one.
Matching, not a directory
9,000+ verified investors with stage, sector, and geography fit, plus per-lens coaching on what to fix before the meeting. That is real work a founder would otherwise do by hand.
What Preuve AI does differently
No deck required
A sentence is enough. You get a scored verdict on the idea months before there is a deck to grade, so the deck gets built for an idea that survived.
The market, not the slides
The $29 full report: 10 parallel agents read 50+ live sources at scan time. Competitors, funding rounds, pricing, and demand signals, each one linked back to where it was found.
6,500-idea benchmark
Graded against 6,500+ ideas across 13 industries. Median 55, only 18.3% earn a go, and the benchmark is not anchored to one country of funding outcomes.
3 pivots, not a fix list
When the verdict is weak, you get 3 pivot directions from competitive gaps and market signals, because sometimes the answer is not a better traction slide.
The deck gets built for you
$499 Investor Package: pitch deck, investment memo, 18-month financial model, and competitive teardown, founder-built and reviewed from your report.

Verdict in one minute
Who should use which tool
Most founders raising this year will end up wanting both. The order is what decides whether the second one is worth paying for.
Best for most founders
Start with Preuve AI if
- You do not have a deck yet, or the idea is unproven
- You want competitors, funding, and market size checked against live sources
- You want the investor deck and memo built, not just graded
- You are raising outside Australia and want a market-neutral benchmark
→ Step one of the raise
Add NUVC if
- The deck exists and the idea already has traction behind it
- You want a VC investment-committee read on the slides
- You want a thesis-matched investor shortlist instead of cold lists
- You are raising in Australia or New Zealand, where it is calibrated
→ Step two, once the deck is real
Read the fine print
Three NUVC details worth knowing before you pay
Every quote below is from nuvc.ai, checked on July 28, 2026.
Unreconciled
“Score 7.0+ unlocks contacts”
Our finding
The FAQ agrees: “decks scoring 7.0+ unlock full investor contact details.” The founder pricing page lists “10+ AI-matched investors with contacts” and “Everything included. Forever.” with no score caveat. Their own benchmark average is 5.8, so ask which page applies before you pay.
Count varies
“5 of 7 NuScore v5.5 dimensions”
Our finding
Elsewhere on the same site: coaching on “all 6 dimensions”, and a benchmark built on “5 investment lenses”. Their research page resolves it as 6 dimensions plus a conviction gate. The engine version drifts too, v5.5 on the homepage against v5.4 in the paper.
AU-calibrated
“Calibrated on Australia's toughest capital market”
Our finding
Benchmarking is stage-adjusted against funded Australian and New Zealand peers, while the investor list is global and the benchmark report spans 35 countries. The matching travels further than the calibration does. Worth weighing if you raise in the US or Europe.

FAQ
Common questions about Preuve AI vs NUVC
What is the difference between NUVC and Preuve AI?
They sit at different points in the same journey. NUVC reads the pitch deck you already have, scores it 0 to 10 the way a VC investment committee would, benchmarks it against funded peers, and above a 7.0 matches you to investors from a 9,000+ list. Preuve AI reads the market instead of the deck: 10 parallel agents scan 50+ live sources, name competitors with funding and pricing, size the market, link every claim to its origin, and grade the idea against 6,500+ ideas already analyzed. One tells you whether the slides land. The other tells you whether the business behind them does.
How much does NUVC cost?
Every NUVC price is in Australian dollars. Founder Pro is $99 AUD one-time for unlimited decks, with a free score preview first and a 7-day no-questions refund. The investor side runs Explorer (free), Professional at $499/mo AUD, Team at $1,499/mo AUD, and Enterprise on request. Family offices get 3-month pilots from $3,000 AUD or monthly plans at $899, $2,700, and $3,500. The developer API is quoted at $0.50 per score on the pricing overview but $1.98 per score on the developers page itself. Preuve AI is free to scan, $29 one-time for the 15-section Founder Report, and $499 for the Investor Package, in USD.
Will NUVC give me investor contacts?
Their site answers this two different ways, so read both before you pay. The homepage says "Score 7.0+ unlocks contacts" and the FAQ repeats that "decks scoring 7.0+ unlock full investor contact details". The founder pricing page lists "10+ AI-matched investors with contacts" among the things you get for $99, with no score caveat attached and the words "Everything included. Forever." NUVC never reconciles the two, and it never spells out what a sub-7.0 paying user actually receives. Since their own benchmark puts the average deck at 5.8 out of 10, that ambiguity lands on most first-time buyers. Ask them directly before paying if the matched contacts are the reason you are buying.
Does NUVC validate the idea or only the deck?
The deck, essentially. NUVC parses your slides, scores them across VC dimensions, and compares them to funded peers, with an integrity layer that cross-checks claims for contradictions and an enrichment step that verifies the team against LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and WHOIS. What it does not do is scan the market behind the idea, so a tidy deck in a crowded category can score well and a rough deck in a strong market can score badly. That is the gap Preuve AI covers: free Reality Check first, then the $29 Founder Report from 50+ live sources at scan time, with every competitor, funding round, and demand signal linked back to where it was found.
Is NUVC calibrated for founders outside Australia?
Partly, and they do not carve out an exception for you. NUVC says its scoring engine is calibrated on 1,400+ labelled examples from accelerator outcomes, verified raises, and VC deal memos, describes itself as trained on Australia's toughest capital market, and states that its Benchmarking Agent runs a stage-adjusted comparison against funded Australian and New Zealand peers, with no non-AU variant mentioned anywhere. Meanwhile the investor list spans 82+ countries and the free benchmark report covers 35. So a US or European founder is still being scored against Australian and New Zealand funded peers. Preuve AI's benchmark is 6,500+ ideas across 13 industries with no single capital market behind it.
Can I use NUVC and Preuve AI together?
That is the sensible sequence. Validate the idea with Preuve first, free scan then the $29 report, so the deck gets built on evidence rather than optimism. Use the $499 Investor Package if you want the deck, investment memo, 18-month model, and competitive teardown produced from that report. Then run the finished deck through NUVC to see how a VC lens scores it and who it matches. Scoring a deck built on an unvalidated idea only tells you the slides are tidy.
