How it works
From your notes to an investor-ready deck.
Story first, slides second. Most of the work is deciding what the deck says and in what order.
Days 1-2
Story and structure
We read your deck, notes and numbers, then agree the story: the problem, why now, what you do, the proof and the ask.
Typical outputs:
- 01Review of your current deck
- 02Story in one page
- 03What to cut
- 04The ask, written as a plan
Days 2-3
Slide outline
One idea per slide, in order, as headlines you can read top to bottom. You approve the outline before any design starts.
Typical outputs:
- 01Slide-by-slide outline
- 02Headline for every slide
- 03Data you need to send
- 04Approved order
Week 1
Design system
Type, colour, grids and components from your brand, so the deck matches your site. No brand yet? We set the basics.
Typical outputs:
- 01Slide master
- 02Type and colour
- 03Reusable layouts
- 04Icons and imagery
Week 1-2
Data visualisation
Traction, market and financials as charts that land in a second, and diagrams that draw the problem instead of listing it.
Typical outputs:
- 01Custom charts
- 02Problem and product diagrams
- 03Team slide
- 04Rounds of iteration with you
Week 2
Investor-ready export
The final deck in the tool your team presents from, plus a PDF built to be read on a laptop or a phone when it gets forwarded.
Typical outputs:
- 01Keynote or Google Slides
- 02Figma source
- 03PDF for sending
- 04Editable master for updates
Deck anatomy
The order we build most decks in, slide by slide.
Most decks open with what the company does before anyone cares why it matters. We start with the problem.
The vision gets its own slide
Nothing else on it. It is the one line people repeat after the call.
One line under each name
On the team slide, the thing each person has done that makes them right for this company.
Built to be read without you
Decks get forwarded and opened without you, so every slide has to make sense on its own.
What we design
Every deck you need for a raise.
Investor decks first, and the materials around them, all on one brand.
Seed deck
The story in the right order and a strong first five slides, for pre-seed and seed rounds.
Series A deck
A deck that works when partners who were never on the call read it, in email and on a phone.
Investor update
A template for monthly or quarterly updates, with charts your team can refresh.
Sales deck and one-pager
The same story for customers and partners, shorter and closer to the product.
Data room visuals
Charts, diagrams and covers for the documents investors read after the first meeting.
Editable master
Keynote, Google Slides or Figma layouts your team can update without breaking the design.
Pricing
What a deck costs at DesignMe.
Priced by stage. Slide count matters less than the rounds of iteration, the story work and the deadline.
Series A and above
$5,000 to $10,000
The deck gets forwarded to partners who were never on the call, so it has to work on its own.

What moves the price

Questions about pitch deck design
Have a raise coming up?
Send us your current deck. We’ll tell you what we would change first.
How much does pitch deck design cost?
At DesignMe, early-stage decks run $2,500 to $5,000 depending on slides, iterations and speed, and decks for Series A and above run $5,000 to $10,000. Our pitch deck pricing guide breaks down what moves the price.
How long does a pitch deck take?
Usually 1 to 2 weeks from the first call to the final files. A deck due in two weeks costs more than one with a month of runway, because it takes the team off other work.
Should I hire a freelancer or an agency to design my pitch deck?
Freelancers usually charge $500 to $2,000 and deliver clean slides, often from a template, while you bring the story and slide order. Full agencies charge $5,000 to $20,000 and up, which usually covers narrative strategy, research, several revision rounds and a longer timeline. Match the spend to the size of the round.
What order should the slides in a pitch deck follow?
Problem, why now, what you do, proof, then the ask. Most decks open with what the company does before anyone cares why it matters, and the vision deserves its own slide with nothing else on it.
How do you write the ask slide in a pitch deck?
Write it as a plan. "Raising $3M" is half a slide, so add the months of runway, the hires and what ships by when.
Do you write the story, or only design the slides?
Both. We work through the story and slide order with you before design starts, and you approve the outline. How much of the story we build with you is one of the things that sets the price.
Can the deck match our website and product?
Yes, and we recommend it. An investor reads the deck, then opens the site, then looks at the product. Same type, colours and components across all three, which is why we like designing the deck next to the website and product.
Which formats do we get?
The deck in Keynote, Google Slides or Figma, whichever your team presents from, plus a PDF for sending.
Do you use AI to design decks?
We use Claude to explore angles and layouts for ideas with no obvious visual shape, which gives the designers a strong starting point. The visual craft, and everything that ends up on the slide, is done by the team.
Have you designed decks for funded startups?
Yes, for teams including N3XT, Datawizz, Lightdash, Quotient, RecruitU and Zinq AI. Their rounds, with sources, are on our fundraising page. The raise is always the founders’ own work.
Can a pitch deck guarantee we raise?
No. A clear deck gets read properly and makes the next meeting easier to win, but the round depends on your company, your market and your investors. Match the deck fee to the size of the round.
