Why work with me
-
I've been
in your shoesMy first startup failed because we couldn't raise funding. We didn't know how to build a pitch deck or communicate our company to investors. Today I help founders avoid those same mistakes. -
I've spent 20+ years in visual communicationFrom a marketing agency and my own design studio to startups and product management, my work has always been about one thing: helping the right people understand the right things. -
I've learned how investors thinkFor the last 2.5 years, I've worked on an investment platform connecting startups with investors. I've reviewed pitch decks and interviewed investors. My biggest takeaway: most decks don't answer the questions investors actually have. -
Climate and nature
is what I care aboutThree years ago, I decided to use my skills and expertise to help climate and nature organisations. Since then, I've worked exclusively with the sector, completed Terra.do's Climate Change programme, and continue learning.
A convincing pitch deck is much more than beautiful slides.
Every decision in your pitch deck should help the right investor understand why your company is worth backing.
Is this problem worth solving?
Is the traction convincing?
Are your financials realistic?
Is the market big enough?
Is now the right time?
How will you use the funding?
Can this team pull it off?
Can you prove your claims?

Practical questions
Not always. Many founders start with a Pitch Deck Audit because it's the fastest way to identify what's holding their deck back. But if you're starting from scratch or already know you need a new deck, we can jump straight into the Build service.
Absolutely. Most clients already have a deck. I'll review what's working, identify what isn't, and improve the messaging, structure and narrative instead of starting from scratch if that's the better option.
Yes. Investors expect different things at different stages. A pre-seed deck shouldn't look like a Series A deck. I'll help you present the strongest possible case for where you are today.
Yes, absolutely! I can review the one you already have or build it with you from scratch – from the story, structure and copy to clear, straightforward visuals.
Yes. Angels, climate VCs, corporate investors, donors and grant providers all look for different things. I help you tailor your deck to the audience you're pitching.
My pitch deck services range from reviewing and improving an existing deck to building one from scratch. Depending on what you need, I can help with the narrative, messaging, structure, evidence, financials, traction, investor relevance and slide design.
Depending on the service, you'll receive a complete pitch deck, a detailed review with prioritised recommendations, or updated versions of your existing deck. All files are fully editable in Canva or Google Slides.
A clarity audit usually takes about a week.
Building a deck depends on the scope – usually from a couple of weeks onward.

Yes. Many climate and nature organizations struggle because their work is complex. My role is to help translate that complexity into clear communication that partners, clients, and investors understand.
If a project requires deeper expertise in a specific field, I can also tap into my network of experts who specialize in communicating complex scientific or environmental topics.

Yes. I work as an independent consultant (Spanish: autónoma) and provide official invoices. I work with EU and international clients.
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee funding. What I can guarantee is that your pitch deck will communicate your company more clearly, answer the right questions for your audience and give investors the information they need to make a decision.
No. If you book a full pitch deck build within 30 days, I'll take €250 off the build price.
