CHALLENGEThe founders had groundbreaking science and a bold vision, but their story was highly technical and complex.
They needed a way to translate deep research and novel technology into a narrative investors could quickly understand and rally behind.
SOLUTIONI partnered with Afference as design lead and strategist to build their Series A deck from the ground up. I defined the message architecture, structured the storyline, and led research on market positioning and investor expectations.
The result was a 15+ slide deck with a clean, scientific aesthetic—each slide built around one core idea, crafted for clarity, focus, and visual impact.
The final Series A deck gave the founders a clear, confident story to take to investors. I designed 15+ slides, structured around a tightened narrative flow, simplifying years of neurotech research into a presentation that could be grasped in minutes.
The $15M funding ask was framed with clarity and credibility, helping Afference begin early conversations with top-tier investors and strengthen their internal alignment on how to tell their story.
