Our project with Vip was a huge success. The insight he provided made all the difference and our customer feedback only confirms he knew exactly the message we were trying to convey. His communication and willingness to take extra time with us was very helpful. We will certainly be using him again and you should too.

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.

I've had the distinct pleasure of working with Vip over the past few years.

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

Hi, I’m Vip: founder & designer.

Hi, I’m Vip! I work with organizations of all sizes: from high-growth startups (Y-Combinator, 30U30, Inc5000 alums) to Fortune 100 companies (PEPSICO, JCPenney, AHA) – even venture funds & investment banks.

I’ve raised funding myself, and designed slides that closed billions for my clients:

  • seed to Series D+ rounds from blue-chip VCs like Tiger Global & Khosla Ventures,
  • national distribution deals with the likes of Southern Glazers, Starbucks & Walmart,
  • $100M+ investment funds (from VC & PE firms, to RE, crypto & quant funds),

Don’t trust faceless agencies, get 1-on-1 expertise

My background as both a designer & VC-backed founder lends the unique skillset & experience necessary to craft winning pitches.

I look forward to a chance to create something amazing together! PS. If you’d still like to know more, I invite you to read more about me below:

I’ve worked for leading businesses, from Fortune 500 corporations (eg. PEPSICO, JCPenney) & Inc. 5000 startups, to investment banks & venture capital firms.

Why choose Vip:

Unmatched expertise

Tap into insider knowledge: I’ve created decks that have won billions for both startups and VCs — plus raised funding for my own ventures. I’ve spent years perfecting what it takes to win funding.

1-on-1 collaboration

I personally design, research & craft your deck, and work 100% solo. Don’t trust agencies that may outsource your deck to inexperienced interns / jr. designers who never raised funding.

$2B track record

More than design: a proven approach that has helped close millions in startup funding (pre-seed to Series D+), investment funds (Fund 1 – 5), as well as retail/distribution deals.

You’ve got one shot.

Investors are busy. Prospects are unforgiving. Which way will you go: a boilerplate PowerPoint template, or the expert trusted by Fortune 500 companies & award-winning (ie. YC, 30u3o) startups? The choice is yours. Close deals faster and easier with slides you can trust, from Vip.

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.
