Vip is a professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was able to capture the essence of what we wanted to convey using infographics and with minimal input from us. His process for feedback was effective and he was very receptive to our suggestions. I have to applaud him on his responsiveness, all updates were completed timely and there was not a hint of frustration when we needed multiple reiterations. I will definitely use him again and absolutely recommends. A true professional!

Jean-Paul A.

I was unaware what all it took to catch the attention of potential investors...I am so glad I chose Vip...Getting ready to close my deal and secure the much needed capital, so just wanted to say THANK YOU Viputheshwar for all your hard work with my project. Without his service I don't think I would have scored my investor.

It's polished and beautiful, as Vip also pays attention to the detail.

FAQ

Do you just do design, or content / storytelling too?

Both. My expertise is at the intersection of creative communications & business strategy: I’m a designer who has raised funding myself and I’ve spent years perfecting the formula for a winning pitch deck.

I not only help organize & design your pitch to captivate, but also offer insight & research to flesh out your business plan.

Storytelling is a big part of what I do for decks: both in terms of communication & copy, and deeper questions of business context (e.g. market size, recent transactions, competitive landscape) and execution (e.g. target demographics / go-to-market research).

My approach & knowledge of the market is informed by experience regularly collaborating with both active venture funds, PE firms, & financial institutions and hundreds of startups across industries every year. I’ve also been a founder myself, from which I have personal experience raising VC funding.

Equally important, my background & skillset as a graphic designer brings a visual storytelling approach to efficiently deliver your pitch. For businesses in the ‘hard’ sciences (or really any company with a technically-complex product), my academic background in molecular biology and experience working with publishers like Wiley & Elsevier to translate clinical research through visuals will come in handy!

How long does it take? How does pricing work?

The process usually takes 12 business days (four to five to 1st draft, remainder for revisions)—although, I can deliver on rush timelines if needed (options as quick as three business days).

There are no surprise charges with revisions, as I charge a flat fee, agreed upon before the start of work. For pricing details or to get a quote, get started here.

Who creates the deck?

Me, Vip. No outsourcing or delegating to a faceless team. I handle 100% of the pitch deck creation myself: including graphic design, storytelling strategy, and market research.

Don’t trust agencies that will delegate your pitch to designers & analysts with no fundraising experience — collaborate 1-on-1 with me from start to finish to craft your perfect pitch.

Can I see sample work?

As I’m sure you can understand, I can not share the entirety of the decks I created due to the confidential nature of the IP & trade secrets therein described. I am committed to treating the intellectual property of every client with the respect & privacy it deserves.

Nevertheless, selected works of mine can be viewed at folio.sitaraman.vip; specifically, some decks I’ve created can be previewed here.
