§ 01

The problem.

Your deck is the pitch. Most founders ship a draft.
i.

Generic templates flatten a specific company into a familiar shape. Slide 1 shouldn't look like everyone else's slide 1. Investors notice.

ii.

Visual chaos — mixed type, inconsistent grids, forty shades of blue. A deck that fights itself is a deck the reader puts down at slide four.

iii.

A narrative that drifts, and loses the room by the ask. The story is the product of the deck. Most decks bury it in bullets.

Our approach.

Decks–as–code. We build pitch decks the way a small team builds a product — with a system, a repo, a review loop, and a ship date.

Systemic

Built in a structured design system — type, grid, and motif defined once.

Versioned

Every revision tracked like software. Roll back a slide, fork a narrative.

Fast

Revisions land in hours, not weeks. The deck keeps pace with the story.

Portable

Exported to PDF, Keynote, PowerPoint, or web — from one clean source.

The method.

Four moves. One week. Each phase hands off with a clear deliverable — no one waits on "the designer."
Step 01 · Mon

Brief

A 60-minute founder call and a structured intake: round, traction, thesis, and the three things that must land.

Step 02 · Tue

Narrative

We write the deck as a memo first — headline per slide, logic on the page, before a single layout exists.

Step 03 · Wed–Thu

Design

A system, then the slides: grid, type, palette, motifs. Tuned to your company, not a template.

Step 04 · Fri

Deliver

Editable source, PDF, Keynote and PowerPoint. One revision round built into the timeline.

Frequently asked.

The four questions every founder asks.
01

How long does it take?

Three to seven days from kickoff to final files, depending on the tier you choose.

02

Do I own the files?

Yes — source, exports, and every asset. No watermarks, no licensing strings attached.

03

What if I hate it?

The revision rounds exist for exactly this. We'd rather you tell us early than quietly stop replying.

04

Can you work with my existing brand?

Always. Bring a brand guide, a logo file, or a single screenshot — we'll match to it.
