Industries / Startups & Venture

Startups & Venture

You have a few weeks and one shot at looking real.

The short version

A startup site has to convince three people at once: a customer, an investor and a hire. We build it fast, make it feel finished, and leave you something you can change yourself.

§ 1

What’s broken

  • The site was built in a weekend on a template and it shows to everyone who matters.
  • The pitch deck says one thing and the website says another.
  • There’s no way to collect waitlist, demo or pilot requests that doesn’t go to someone’s personal inbox.
  • The brand is a logo from a generator and a colour nobody chose on purpose.
§ 2

What we build

  • Launch sites in weeks, not quarters A real brand, a real site and a working signup path, scoped so it ships before the round closes.
  • Brand systems that survive the next hire Logo, type, colour and rules written down so the second designer doesn’t start over.
  • MVP front ends A product surface good enough to put in front of pilot customers and screenshot for the deck.
  • Investor and portfolio pages For funds and accelerators: portfolio grids, thesis pages and application flows that feel like a serious institution.
§ 3

Three things you could walk away with

  1. A launch site with brand identity Logo, type system, five pages and a waitlist or demo form that writes to your CRM.
  2. A product front end for pilots A clickable, deployable interface for the first customers, built to be replaced by the real app later.
  3. A fund or accelerator site Thesis, team, portfolio and a cohort application form, with a private page set for founders.
