The Presentation Design Agency for (Funded) Startups

Studio

Everyone says a great deck makes all the difference. Nobody mentions how miserable they are to build.

I'm the weirdo who enjoys it. That's why I created Overslide, a specialized presentation design agency, alongside my digital design studio, Giant Particle.

I'm building this new business in public, with full transparency, sharing the wins and the fuckups.

What you get

A single deck starts at $5,000, a full presentation system at $30,000. Starting points, not quotes: every project is scoped to the team using it and settled on a call.

Deck$5,000+

One deck, designed from the content you already have. Your narrative stays as it is and the slides get rebuilt around it. Built in the tool your team already uses, so it stays editable after handover.

One week
  • One deck (~25 slides): fundraising, sales, etc.
  • Designed from the content you already have
Story$10,000+

One deck, rebuilt from the story up. We work out the narrative and the structure together first, then I design it end to end, including the charts and diagrams the argument needs.

Two weeks
  • Narrative and structure reworked with you
  • Designed end to end, not restyled
System$30,000+

A presentation system your team runs without me: a template for each kind of deck you present, a modular slide library to build from, and a handover, either a written guide or up to 30 days with me on Slack.

Four weeks and up
  • One to five or more deck types
  • Brand system, extended or built from scratch
Retainer $8,500/mo Sales decks, investor updates, one-pagers, whatever the month actually needs, at priority turnaround. Existing clients only · Two-month minimum, then monthly

Urgent work can sometimes jump the queue. Clearing that space runs at a priority rate, agreed before anything starts.

Two decades of this. Yes, I'm that old. Big brands, startups, plenty in between, and the projects that went badly taught me more than the ones that didn't. Now I help founders present their business properly. Story and visuals, not one or the other. Fast.
