Running Your Start-up
Take the pain and time out of creating a hard-hitting investor pitch deck

2 Minutes 30 Seconds
That’s the average time that an investor takes to look at your start-up pitch deck (DocuSend, 2024). That’s how long you’ve got to grab their attention and impress them enough to get in touch with you and secure a meeting. Don’t waste their time, or yours, with a pitch deck that’s…

Poorly Designed

Lacking Key Content

Filled With Chatgpt Rubbish
(Trust me, investors can tell straight away)
I’ve learnt the hard way.
Whilst raising capital for my own businesses, I realised how many entrepreneurs and start-ups were under-served by current offerings; caught between paying $3-$5k for an agency or using cheap, freelance designers who had very little grasp of business, strategy and start-up fundraising. That’s why I started Elevate with a view to helping entrepreneurs and start-ups like like you, create strategically-sound, delightfully designed, compelling investor pitch decks. Over the last couple of years, I’ve helped over 150 start-ups to elevate their pitch decks, refine their proposition and secure funding.
MBA | BSc
With a first class MBA and a BSc from Bath University, one of the leading business schools in the UK, I’ve got a strong understanding of business and the funding ‘game’. In fact, I even did one of my MBA modules on venture funding (and got a first too)!
Entrepreneur
I’ve been in your shoes as an entrepreneur and serial founder of several businesses (not all of them successful, but they’re the ones you learn the most from!) I raised investor capital for two of them and bring that experience to help you do the same.
Advisor
Over the last 2 years, I've worked with over 200 startups like yours and entrepreneurs like you, sharing my no-nonsense, direct and creative start-up expertise in a friendly and helpful way to help them raise investment capital.
Work Directly With Me,
Not an Outsourced Team
I’m an entrepreneur just like you. An entrepreneur who’s succeeded in raising investor capital, who’s failed and who’s gone again, building several businesses, including Elevate.
You’ll work directly with me, not an outsourced team and we’ll kick it off with a friendly consultation call so I can get to know you and your business a little bit better.

Timeline History

Running several start-ups gave me unparalleled access to the daily struggles and challenges for founders like you. One of these was raising finance and I spent hours on end creating, adapting, scrapping and improving my own investment pitch decks, ultimately successfully raising investor capital for two businesses.

Whilst completing my first-class MBA from the University of Bath (that's me and my dad on graduation), I was asked by several colleagues, friends and family members to help them with their business ideas, which I was more than happy to do. I helped them to shape their ideas, create brands and of course, investor pitch decks.
Recognising that I had a natural talent for helping my family and friends, and that, more importantly, I really enjoyed sharing my expertise and learning, I decided to explore this further and launched Elevate with a mission to help as many entrepreneurs like you to take your business to the next level.

With over 200 investor pitch decks created, over 200 verified 5-star reviews and an amazing list of happy, friendly clients, I've grown Elevate into a full-time start-up of its own and loved every minute of it too!
