Series A Deck

  • Retool your brand to support your scaling goals and highlight wellbeing or climate impact.

  • Find a new angle for your product narrative and rewrite your business communication around your impact.

  • Leverage our fundraising expertise to create a deck that speaks to investors and help you close large rounds

As first-time founders in a tough macroeconomic environment, having a pitch deck that stood out really gave us the confidence as we closed our Series A round at Ostrom. Working with the Urban Impact team was straightforward and fast — it took just a few days to get back super slick slides that helped us with our storytelling!

Market Immersion
Derisk your market entry by finding a strategy that aligns with the goals of all stakeholders, and by connecting to the right people or initiatives.

  • Launching your project in a new city or country comes with its own set of challenges. We simplify this process by crafting a practical roadmap that respects the specific nuances of each region. Together, we'll develop a strategy that fits well with the local culture and regulations, setting a solid foundation for your project.

  • Entering a new urban landscape is about building the right connections. We'll help you navigate through the complex networks of city stakeholders, including administration bodies, business communities, and civic initiatives. Our approach helps you forge meaningful relationships with key individuals, facilitating smoother collaborations and integration into the local ecosystem.

  • Scaling your project doesn't have to be a solo journey. We're here to guide you in finding the right opportunities for funding and partnerships. Through our network, we can connect you with potential public funding sources or partners who share your vision, enabling your project to grow and thrive in a sustainable manner. Together, we'll find the resources to take your project to the next level.
