LP decks, AGM presentations and quarterly LP updates, designed
Overslide designs LP fundraising decks, AGM presentations and quarterly LP updates for venture funds, on the same published pricing as startup work. Max Marele, the designer behind Overslide, has designed LP fundraising decks and does every project himself, under NDA, in the fund’s own tool.
Why funds
A fund raising a fund is a startup raising a round
Same miserable job, different evidence. A founder has to convince investors the company is worth backing. A GP has to convince LPs the vehicle is, and that means a thesis, a track record, a portfolio construction and a team, in an order that actually makes the case.
So I do what I do for founders. One idea per slide. Numbers you can read without squinting. And the track record goes in a chart (nobody has ever made it to the bottom of a returns table, trust me).
What I design
LP fundraising decks
The deck you raise the fund on. Sometimes that’s a teaser plus the full deck, which is a bigger project, so it gets scoped like one.
AGM presentations
Once a year, in a room full of people who already gave you money. The deck has one job: make the year make sense.
Quarterly LP updates
The deck you rebuild every three months, forever: a fund’s version of a startup’s investor update. Build it once as a template your team fills in and get those hours back. That’s a System.
Track record and portfolio data
Track record, portfolio construction, deployment. Charts and diagrams, not screenshots of a spreadsheet. They’re included on every tier.
Overslide designs the fund-performance, portfolio and deployment charts in LP decks and quarterly LP updates, from the numbers the fund reports, defined and labelled the way it reports them. A quarterly update keeps the same charts every quarter, so what moved is what shows. The chart rules are the same as in a startup’s pitch deck: how to show traction and financials.
Pricing
It depends on the deck
No two fund decks are the same size. What sets the price: how big the deck is, how many versions you need (a teaser and the full deck, say), and whether the narrative or the look has to be worked out before I design it.

Questions
What is an LP deck or an AGM presentation?
An LP deck and an AGM presentation are both fund-side presentations. An LP deck is what a venture fund uses to raise its own vehicle from limited partners, which is the same job as a startup raising a round. An AGM presentation is what the fund shows those limited partners at its annual general meeting, alongside the quarterly LP updates in between. Overslide designs all three, on the same published pricing as startup work.
How is the price decided?
Every project gets one fixed price, set on the 30-minute call. Two things shape it: the size of the deck, and whether anything has to be built before it can be designed, meaning the narrative or the visual direction. A standard deck is around 25 slides. Most fundraising decks run longer, and some come in two versions, a teaser and a full deck. Those are scoped as the larger projects they are.
How long does a deck take?
A standard deck of around 25 slides turns around in a week on Deck, and around two weeks on Story. Longer decks take longer, and the timeframe is agreed with the price on the call. System runs four weeks and up, scoped per project, and Retainer work is handled at priority. Urgent work can sometimes jump the queue, at a priority rate agreed before work starts.
Does Overslide sign NDAs?
Yes, Overslide signs NDAs, and most of its work is under one. Confidential information stays confidential, which is why client names and figures are redacted on the sample slides.
Which tools does Overslide design in?
Overslide designs in Figma Slides, Google Slides, Keynote or PowerPoint, whichever the client's team already uses. Max prefers to build in Figma where the client can work that way, because it gives more design control. The trade-offs are laid out in Figma Slides vs Google Slides vs PowerPoint.
Will my team be able to edit the deck afterwards?
Yes, the team can edit the deck afterwards. Decks are built in the tool the team already works in, so the files stay editable in-house after handover.
Who actually works on my project?
Max Marele designs every project himself. Overslide is a one-person specialist studio, so the person on the intro call is the person designing the slides.
