Startup Design Partner for Early-Stage Founders
Look fundable.
Raise faster.
One designer. Every investor-ready asset.
Most founders stop at the pitch deck. The best ones design the entire investor experience — brand, deck, data room, website, every touchpoint. That's what I build. Three packages. Fixed pricing.

Don't take my word for it.
I've worked with 20+ founders at their most critical stage. Here's what happened after.
MAI
Marketing AI
We'd been through three versions of our pitch deck before Nitin. None of them felt right — they looked fine but didn't land. Within 20 days he turned a technically complex AI product into a story investors could feel. We raised $25M. I wish we'd called him first.
Yuchen W.
CEO
Scooch
Pet Wellness Brand
We had a great product but our landing page wasn't telling that story. Dog owners were landing and leaving before they understood what Scooch actually does. Nitin redesigned the page with one goal — conversion. Within weeks our reach had grown 10x. The page now does the selling before we say a word.

Privacy By Design
Most designers would have made us look like every other fintech brand — soft pinks, generic wellness aesthetics. Nitin started with our competitive landscape and found the white space none of our competitors were occupying. The result was an identity that felt completely ours — and nothing like theirs.

Design Partner · Early-Stage Startups
The person behind every project
I stopped being
a generalist.
For 7 years I designed for everyone — brands, decks, investor presentations across every industry. I was good at it. But I kept noticing the same thing: the founders who needed design the most were the ones least equipped to navigate it.
Two years ago I made a decision. I narrowed everything down to the one type of work that kept me up at night — helping early-stage founders look as fundable as their ideas deserve.
"Now I bring every one of those 7 years to the table for 2–3 founders at a time. Not as a vendor. As a partner who's seen enough investor decks and funding rounds to know exactly what works — and what quietly kills a raise."
How I work
I only take 2–3 clients.
Not because I can't handle more. Because your raise deserves full attention — not a slot in someone's queue.
Strategy before pixels.
I run a positioning audit before touching a single frame. Design without context is just decoration.
$50M+ raised by founders I've designed for.
This isn't a portfolio flex. It's proof that investor-ready design is a fundable asset.
Let's make
something fundable
Your competitor isn't waiting. Neither should you.
