Boutique pitch-deck studio · est. 2026

Seed decks, built in code.

Pixel-perfect, infinitely iterable, delivered in days — not weeks. For founders who read the deck as part of the pitch.

Our method

Three rules, applied to every slide.

01

One idea per slide.

Attention on pitch decks has collapsed. The best 2026 seed slides carry exactly one idea. We kill the paragraph and push the supporting detail to speaker notes.

02

Arithmetic on the page.

A market number is only credible if an investor can redo the math. We compute TAM → SAM → SOM explicitly and cite sources inline, never in a tiny footer.

03

Design is signaling.

A deliberate visual system reads as taste. Defaults read as absence of it. Every typeface, every rule, every spacing decision is opinionated — and stays consistent across fourteen slides.

We build decks in code. That's why the rules stay rules — a change on slide three doesn't drift on slide eleven. It also means revisions are measured in minutes, not days.

Selected work

Two pieces. One method.

Keelhaul — a seed deck from scratch.

14 slides · 2 days from brief to export · PPTX + PDF

Keelhaul is a fictional SOC 2 automation company we built end-to-end to demonstrate what a Slatepress seed deck looks like: narrative arc, market sizing with visible arithmetic, competitive positioning, and a design system that holds across all fourteen slides.

Built to show craft, not to sell a real product.

Teardown 01 · Front, Seed 2014

Twelve years on — what we'd change.

3 slides redesigned · narrative, structure, design · PPTX + PDF

A respectful 2026 redesign of three slides from Front's publicly shared 2014 seed deck. The original worked — Front raised and became a category leader. But the conventions of a great seed deck have shifted, and this teardown shows what those shifts mean slide by slide.
