Trigger decisions: + YC AI fintech (Ballerine) raised $13.5M Series A + Salesforce SI (Flok Consulting) acquired by FormativGroup + PropTech startup (Valcre) secured $12.7M Series A "Zark is the easy button for startup pitch decks and storytelling. He absorbs complex information and distills it into something investors and customers actually understand. - Even our CTO said: 'I don't normally like story people. Zark is different. He really gets it.'" – CEO, AI AgTech startup If you're struggling to explain what you do, why it matters, or why someone should say yes - I can help. I work with founders, executives, and teams to: + clarify positioning and value + structure ideas into persuasive narratives + translate complexity into something people understand and act on This work shows up in: + investor pitch decks + sales presentations and growth narratives + websites and messaging systems + proposals, reports, and strategic communications ---------- Most clients come in thinking they need a deliverable. What they actually need is clarity. Once that's solved, everything else - the deck, the story, the site - starts working. "I have never worked with anyone so comprehensive and thoughtful in taking complex ideas and putting them into a cogent story." – Founder, Global Fintech startup My approach combines strategy, storytelling, design thinking, and facilitation - often using diagrams, frameworks, and rapid prototyping to test and refine ideas in real time. If you're working on something complex, new, or hard to explain - and need it to land with investors, clients, or stakeholders - reach out. ---------- With a mix of strategy, writing, design, research, and facilitation, I translate complex ideas into clear, usable communication that holds up in real-world conversations. The work typically starts with structured discovery - asking the right questions, pressure-testing assumptions, and separating signal from noise. From there, I synthesize and shape the thinking with you, into something that can be understood, trusted, and acted on. I regularly support: + investor and fundraising efforts + sales and growth positioning + messaging and website architecture + proposals, reports, and internal narratives + frameworks, diagrams, and concept visualization Much of this happens collaboratively - working live, iterating quickly, and using both language and visuals to test whether something actually makes sense outside your own head. The goal is not just to tell a better story, but to make sure the story is right - grounded, aligned, true to you, and value revealing. I work with ambitious leaders across industries, often in situations where the stakes are high and the thinking isn’t fully resolved yet. ---------- Specialties: Strategic Design Storytelling, Visioning, and Branding Higher Education Innovation Strategic Partnerships Service and Experience Design Design Research Framework Design Workshop Facilitation Sustainable Business Modeling Program Design and Development Professional Development and Training Innovation & Entrepreneurship Creative Leadership Organizational Change Design Thinking & Human-Centered Design ​--------- 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.

Top 1% | Top Rated Plus on Upwork Pitch Deck Design | Startup Consultant | $20M+ Raised | AI & SaaS 200+ startups and businesses supported | Contributed to $20M+ in investor-backed funding Startups rarely fail because they can't build a product. More often, they struggle because they can't clearly communicate the opportunity.

By combining business strategy with premium presentation design, I create pitch decks, sales presentations, and executive materials that help businesses raise capital, win customers, and communicate with clarity. Whether you're preparing an Investor Pitch Deck, Startup Pitch Deck, Real Estate Pitch Deck, Sponsorship Deck, PowerPoint Presentation, Google Slides Presentation, or a board presentation, my focus is always the same: tell the right story with clear structure and thoughtful design. What I help with • Investor Pitch Decks (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A+) • Pitch Deck Design & Presentation Design • Startup Pitch Decks • PowerPoint Presentations & Google Slides • PowerPoint Design & Presentation Redesign • Presentation Templates & Presentation Slides • Sales Decks & Partnership Presentations • Executive & Board Presentations • Real Estate Pitch Decks • Sponsorship Decks • Business Plan Presentations • Startup Positioning & Messaging • Fundraising Strategy & Investor Storytelling • AI & SaaS Presentation Design • AI Automation Strategy & Business Workflow Consulting Why founders work with me • Cornell Tech MBA Candidate at the SC Johnson Graduate School of Management, bringing together business strategy, technology, fundraising, and design. • Supported 200+ companies across startups, SaaS, healthcare, AI, real estate, and enterprise businesses. • Presentation work has contributed to $20M+ in investor-backed funding. • I focus on clarity, structure, and business outcomes, not just making slides look good. • Strong understanding of startup fundraising, investor expectations, and executive communication. • Fast turnaround, clear communication, and fully editable PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Figma files. • Trusted for high-stakes investor presentations, fundraising decks, sales presentations, board meetings, and executive communications. My goal isn't simply to make your presentation look better. It's to make your business easier to understand, easier to trust, and easier to invest in. Let's talk. Send me your pitch deck, presentation, business overview, or project details, and I'll recommend the best approach before we get started.

I help founders, CEOs, and growing organizations turn complex technical work into clear, persuasive investor decks, board materials, and executive communication — the kind that hold up in the room. I also do the work behind the materials: the strategy, alignment, and partnerships that move an idea from a founder's head into the real world. Most people who build decks are designers or writers. I'm an operator. I've sat beside the CEO through multiple raises (series A-C) and built a startup ecosystem from the ground up — so the materials I make are grounded in how the business and the room actually work, not just how they should look. Whether you need a pitch deck sharpened before a raise, an embedded partner who keeps leadership aligned through a year of growth, or someone to help an idea find its market and its partners, the work is the same: take something real but unstructured — a founder's vision, a technical product, a fundraising story, a set of scattered priorities — and make it coherent. Coherence is the whole point. As an idea travels from your head into a deck, a team, a room full of investors, or out into a market, the message tends to drift from the underlying reality, and the pieces stop adding up. I keep the story, the strategy, and the work itself connected, so what you present is sharp *and* true. For five and a half years I was the embedded communications and strategic partner to the CEO of Iontra, a venture-backed battery company — building investor decks, board presentations, and shareholder updates, running executive operating reviews, and coordinating across product, engineering, finance, and operations as it grew from under 10 people to over 100 and raised $125M+ across Series A, B, and C. I kept leadership aligned and turned dense battery and semiconductor engineering into narratives investors and customers could follow. Earlier, I was founding Director of Partnerships at Colabs — building one of my region's leading startup communities from the ground up, into a hub that has since expanded internationally. I connected accelerators, universities, corporations, and investors into a working ecosystem, mentored and judged founder cohorts across major accelerator programs, and supported university research commercialization through the University of Tokyo's Todai to Texas program. The industries have changed — deep tech, AI, robotics, clean transportation, SaaS, healthcare, university research — but the work has stayed consistent: helping technically sophisticated organizations think clearly, communicate clearly, and connect to the people who carry their ideas forward. Across 20+ years, clients and projects I've supported have contributed to $150M+ in fundraising and 80+ product launches. What I can help with - Investor decks and pitch decks that survive diligence - Board presentations and shareholder updates - Executive communications and leadership messaging - Strategic synthesis, positioning, and founder/executive thought partnership - Executive operating cadence and cross-functional coordination - Commercialization and go-to-market narrative - Innovation ecosystems and partnerships — connecting startups, investors, universities, and institutions - Technical storytelling for investors, customers, and partners - Data room organization and diligence support - AI-assisted drafting and synthesis, guided by human judgment I'm at my best when the material matters and the stakes are real — a raise, a board meeting, a product launch, a pivotal decision, or a stretch of growth where leadership has to stay aligned. My job is to find the logic, sharpen the message, and hand you something — and someone — you can rely on. Available for one-off projects, fractional roles, and ongoing engagements. Based in Columbus, Ohio.

Are you a Startup founder preparing to pitch VCs or accelerators? Do you need a Pitch Deck that helps an Investor understand your story and traction? I help founders turn rough drafts, outdated slides, and Business Plan materials into a clear Pitch Deck built for real Investor conversations. With 9+ years of experience, I specialize in Pitch Deck development, Investor storytelling, PowerPoint execution, and Presentation Design for fundraising. I have completed 490+ Pitch Deck projects and supported founders whose companies raised $560M+ in tracked capital. My work is not only about making a Pitch Deck look polished. I shape the content, sharpen the message, improve the flow, and make every PowerPoint slide easier to understand. 🚀 My approach to content and design A strong Pitch Deck needs more than good PowerPoint visuals. It must answer Investor questions fast, explain why now, show traction clearly, and make the business case credible. I review your content through an Investor lens, identify gaps, simplify complex ideas, and reorganize the story before the Presentation Design stage begins. I help decide what belongs in the Pitch Deck, what should be removed, what needs stronger proof, and how each slide should support the next one. Once the story is clear, I translate it into clean PowerPoint slides with Presentation Design that supports clarity, trust, and momentum. 💼 What I help with • Full Pitch Deck creation from scratch • Pitch Deck redesign for an existing Investor deck • Pitch Deck content strategy and fundraising narrative • PowerPoint cleanup and PowerPoint formatting • Presentation Design for fundraising, board, and sales materials • Business Plan summary slides and Business Plan visuals • Startup story refinement and Investor messaging • Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and CPG Pitch Deck support for product, retail, ecommerce, and brand-led companies ✅ Why founders work with me • I build each Pitch Deck around real Investor logic • I turn complex ideas into simple PowerPoint slides • I use Presentation Design to improve clarity, not just aesthetics • I align your Pitch Deck with your Business Plan and Investor narrative • I deliver editable PowerPoint files that stay easy to update • I help each Startup communicate with more confidence 🧠 My process 1.

Whether you need a new Pitch Deck, a sharper Pitch Deck, or a cleaner Pitch Deck, I focus on making each Investor interaction more effective through better content, PowerPoint storytelling, and Presentation Design. For Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), I can explain product positioning, brand traction, retail strategy, ecommerce growth, unit economics, distribution, margins, and market opportunity in a way that feels clear to an Investor. A CPG Pitch Deck needs the right balance of story, numbers, visuals, product proof, and Business Plan logic, so Presentation Design must make the brand credible. 🎯 Services include • Fundraising Pitch Deck strategy • Fundraising Pitch Deck redesign • Pitch Deck content review and story improvement • PowerPoint template setup • PowerPoint master slides • Presentation Design systems • Presentation Design consistency checks • Presentation Design refinement • Business Plan to Pitch Deck transformation • Startup messaging support • Investor presentation updates • Financial slide cleanup in PowerPoint • Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), CPG, and retail-focused Investor materials 💬 Client feedback often sounds like this “Sergio brought clarity, structure, and real Investor logic to our Pitch Deck.” “Excellent PowerPoint work, strong Presentation Design, and fast communication.” “He improved our content, refined the story, and made the Pitch Deck easier to present.” 📌 Final goal If your current Pitch Deck feels crowded, confusing, or outdated, I can turn it into a Pitch Deck that is clear, credible, and ready for the next Investor meeting.
