Deck sharing & data rooms.
Secure, trackable pitch-deck links and virtual data rooms, see who opened what, for how long, page by page. It does those two jobs well. But that’s the whole product, advanced data-room features cost extra, and the deck, CRM, cap table, forecast and updates all live in other tools.

ARX
A fundraising operating system.
The same secure deck sharing and data rooms, with decks that live-link into the room and a contact-founder button, and a room that pulls your forecast, cap table and deck live, plus an investor CRM, bookings, updates and an AI across all of it. Built for the raise, for early-stage founders.

Analytics
See who's
paying attention.
DocSend stores your files. Arx connects them. Because the investors list is built in, every deck open and data-room view is logged automatically under that investor’s record. Arx tells you who’s actively reviewing your data room, and who has been quiet for a week.
Where they diverge
Feature by feature, by job.
On deck sharing and data rooms, Arx matches DocSend feature for feature, then includes the basics DocSend charges extra for, and adds the eight other tools a raise needs.

Ask Arx
AI that guides you.
Arx understands every single step of your fundraise. It reviews your investor list, emails, meetings, deck and data-room sharing, and more. Based on the analytics it collects, Arx tells you how to improve your deck, and how to adjust your data room so investors get the whole story.
AARX
How can I improve my pitch deck?
ThinkingReading per-slide dwell time across 14 investor opens.
Slides 5 and 9 (Market and Traction) overlap, and dwell time drops by half right there before viewers skip ahead. Merge them into a single traction-led slide and lead with the numbers that are already working.
Takeaway
It's not just about doc sharing.
For secure deck sharing and data rooms, DocSend is a great product.
But an efficient fundraise requires a complete set of tools, not fragments. Arx gives you everything to close your round. DocSend charges more for a fraction of that.
