A studio service
Seed pitch deck design for the first institutional round.
At seed, investors are funding two things: the team and the earliest signal that people want what you're building. Everything else can change. We design lean 12–15 slide seed decks where the team and the traction do the talking, and nothing gets in their way.

N° 01What seed decks get wrong
Four ways founders bury the signal.
01
Too long
Thirty slides at seed reads as 'I don't know what matters yet.' The decks investors finish average ~12 slides. Cut to the argument; appendix the rest.
02
Traction hidden
Your earliest proof — usage, revenue, waitlist, pilot — is the whole point at seed. If it's on slide 18, the deck is working against you. Make it a headline.
03
Team as a footer
Investors fund founders at seed. A team slide that's four names and a logo wall wastes your strongest asset. Show why this team is unfair for this problem.
04
Vision with no wedge
A huge vision with no concrete first customer reads as a dream. Pair the ambition with a sharp, specific beachhead you can win now.
N° 02Who this is for
Pre-seed to seed. First cheque to first round.
01
Pre-seed founders
8–12 slides selling the insight, the wedge, and the team. Built to earn the first believer cheque before there's much to measure.
02
Seed-stage startups
12–15 slides where early traction carries the story. We design around the metrics you have, not the ones you wish you had.
03
Accelerator & demo-day founders
A legible, fast-reading deck built for a room that decides in three minutes — and a longer version for the follow-up meeting.

Questions
The answers we give most often.
- How many slides should a seed pitch deck be?
- 10–15. The decks investors read to completion average ~12; 72% of VCs prefer 10–12 for seed. Cover the essentials, appendix the rest.
- Pre-seed vs seed deck — what changes?
- Pre-seed (8–12 slides) sells vision, insight, and team. Seed (12–15) must show early proof — usage, revenue, or a strong pilot.
- What do seed investors look at first?
- Team and traction. The product will change; the founders and the earliest demand signal are what's being funded. Design so both are impossible to miss.
- How much does a seed deck cost?
- Freelancers $500–3,000, boutiques $2,000–8,000. Our Essential is $2,000 (12–15 slides); Standard $4,000 adds narrative development and a one-page teaser.
- Do you write the content or just design it?
- Both. Essential designs your content; Standard shapes the narrative from your inputs — we structure the story, you supply the facts.
