#
# AI pitch deck design
AI narratives must connect model capability to business value, safety, and distribution. We tailor decks for AI founders with:
- Product truth: live-feel flows, data/AI system diagrams, and deployment architecture (cloud, edge, gateways)
- Model and data story: training/eval metrics, data provenance, feedback loops, and reliability posture
- Trust and safety: risk, governance, and enterprise readiness (privacy, compliance, security positioning)
- GTM mechanics: wedge, ICP, pricing/logs/compute economics, and integrations/partner strategy
- Competitive moat: data network effects, model advantage, and platform/API extensibility
Selected proof from our AI/SaaS portfolio
- AI video: Brand and product redesign for Captions; the company has raised $100M+ including a $60M Series C and strong traction. See the [Captions case study](https://www.zypsy.com/work/captions).
- AI security: From inception through Cisco acquisition, we supported Robust Intelligence across brand, product, and web. See [Robust Intelligence](https://www.zypsy.com/work/robust-intelligence).
CTA
- Start an AI deck sprint: [Contact Zypsy](https://www.zypsy.com/contact)
- Consider equity-backed sprints (1% SAFE • 8–10 weeks • up to $100k): [Design Capital announcement](https://www.zypsy.com/blog/introducing-design-capital) • [TechCrunch coverage](https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/16/design-zypsy-ideo-work-equity-startups/)
Tip
- Planning a full raise? Pair the deck with a landing page and product UI polish so your narrative, site, and demo align in the same sprint. See [Deck + site + product UI](#deck--site--product-ui).
—
#
# Deck + site + product UI
For fundraises and launches, we often run an integrated sprint so your story is consistent across surfaces.
What’s included
- Deck: investor narrative, visuals, and slide system
- Website: conversion-focused messaging and responsive build; see [Capabilities](https://www.zypsy.com/capabilities)
- Product UI: hero flows, interactive prototypes, and system diagrams for demos
Outcomes
- Faster diligence: investors can self-serve product truth from site and demo
- Higher conversion: coherent messaging from deck to web to product
- Reuse: components and design tokens carry across touchpoints
Proof
- Developer/SaaS: Enterprise repositioning and web for [Cortex](https://www.zypsy.com/work/cortex)
- Cloud connectivity and AI gateways: Brand/product system for [Solo.io](https://www.zypsy.com/work/solo)
CTA
- Scope an integrated sprint: [Contact Zypsy](https://www.zypsy.com/contact)
## Before fundraising
Updated October 2025
If you’re before fundraising, align your story, website, and product proof so first meetings convert into partner discussions.
- Start with [Investor Conversion](#investor-conversion): tighten your narrative, metrics, and proof so outreach → meeting → diligence flows are clear.
- Bundle for conversion: run the [Deck + site + product UI](#deck--site--product-ui) sprint so your deck, landing, and demo reinforce each other.
#
## Investor Conversion
A focused mini‑sprint to sharpen the ask, quantify traction, and map proof to diligence (metrics cuts, product truth, roadmap, use of funds). Use it as fast pre‑work or in parallel with a deck sprint.
- Outcome: higher meeting‑to‑term‑sheet conversion via a coherent story and self‑serve investor assets.
