Investor narrative and pitch decks

A deck is the last step of the work, not the first. We build the narrative investors will repeat to their partners, then the deck that carries it.

What the work covers

Founders often come to us looking for a pitch deck consultant or a designer. What most need first is a decided story; the deck follows quickly once it is.

The narrative
Why this, why now and why this team, in an order an investor can repeat to their partners without the deck in front of them.
The numbers
The ask, the use of funds, the milestone it reaches and market sizing built up from real customers, so the numbers slide survives questions.
The design
Slides that read without a presenter for the version you send, and a cleaner set for the version you present.
The questions
An appendix for what investors will ask, so the answers are ready before the first meeting.
The surround
The website, the one-line description and the founders’ profiles, brought in line so that everything an investor checks says the same thing.

3DPC

3DPC was preparing a growth financing round. The technology and the client list were strong, but the story was written for engineers, and many of the investors it needed knew little about the sector.

Metals recycling, UK and Africa

Romco Metals

Romco needed to be understood by investors and buyers as more than a recycler: a supplier of the metals the energy transition depends on.
