§ 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.

§ 02 · 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.
01 · Systemic
One structured design system.
Type, grid, and motif defined once. Applied consistently.
02 · Versioned
Every revision tracked.
Roll back a slide, fork a narrative, branch a variant.
03 · Fast
Hours, not weeks.
Revisions land fast enough that the deck keeps pace with the story.
04 · Portable
One source, every format.
Exported to PDF, Keynote, PowerPoint, or web — from one clean source.

§ 03 · The method
Four moves. One week.
Each phase hands off to the next with a clear deliverable — no one waits on "the designer" to come back with something.
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.

§ 07 · Frequently asked
The four questions every founder asks.
Q–01
How long does it take?
Three to seven days from kickoff to final files, depending on the tier you choose.
Q–02
Do I own the files?
Yes — source, exports, and every asset. No watermarks, no licensing strings attached.
Q–03
What if I hate it?
The revision rounds exist for exactly this. We'd rather you tell us early than quietly stop replying.
Q–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.
