“I make the best pitches you’ve ever seen. As Design Lead for First Round’s Pitch Assist, I spend all my time making founders and their companies look good. But it’s not just about looking good. It’s far more important to me that we clearly communicate your revenue model and go-to-market than to debate which shade of blue is most like the sky (it’s #7EC0EE). Yes, the slides will look amazing, and, yes, you’ll get comments about them from investors, but at the end of the day, I optimize for one thing: getting the term sheet.”
The bulk of my work is done real-time, in-person, with you and your CMO watching. In Pitch Assist, we tweak it until it’s right, then we rehearse it until you say ‘I think I’m going to be sick…’ (That’s an actual founder quote.)
Chris is the co-founder of 4th & King, an SF-based agency dedicated solely to helping companies look their best. Previously, he was a Creative Director at Beautiful.ai, a presentation software company, and before that, he was a Senior Designer at Duarte Design.
