How it works
Three steps. No friction for you.
[ 01 ]
Share your link
pitchgate.io/your-handle. Pin it in your LinkedIn bio, email signature, or X profile. One link for every inbound ask.
[ 02 ]
AI screens every pitch
Senders pay a base fee plus your price threshold. The AI runs a short intake, scores the pitch against your preferences, and routes it.
[ 03 ]
Only the signal arrives
High-score pitches hit your inbox the moment they escalate. Everything else rolls up into a Sunday digest, or gets declined.

Pricing
Receivers pay nothing.
$5+ your threshold
Per pitch · paid by sender at submission
A flat $5 base covers AI + platform. You set the threshold — $0 for an open channel, $100 to only hear from people who really mean it.
Escalated pitches are final — no refunds. Price is the filter. The sender bears the cost of your attention, not you.
Common questions
The short answers.
What is PitchGate?
An AI gatekeeper for inbound pitches. Share one link; senders pay to pitch; an AI screens every one; only relevant ones reach you.
How does the AI screen pitches?
Senders complete a short intake. The AI scores the pitch against your stated preferences — what you're looking for, what you're not — and routes high scorers to your inbox while everything else rolls into a Sunday digest or gets declined.
Who is PitchGate for?
Founders, executives, and investors — anyone whose attention is the product. People drowning in cold inbound from VCs, vendors, candidates, partners, or unsolicited decks.
How much does it cost?
Receivers pay nothing. Senders pay $5 plus your threshold. You set the threshold — $0 for an open channel, up to $100 to only hear from people who really mean it.
What happens to declined pitches?
Declined or low-scoring pitches don't hit your inbox. They're either logged in a Sunday digest you skim once a week, or filtered out entirely if they fall below your threshold.
Are pitches refundable?
No. Escalated pitches are final — price is the filter. Senders bear the cost of your attention, not you.
