Expert Pitch Story Consults

A good pitch deck is a lot like riding a roller coaster. When you get on a roller coaster, you know the first hill is the steepest. As you throw your hands in the air & descend in a rush, you know the momentum will carry you through the rest of that exhilarating ride!

Your pitch deck is exactly the same. The opening of your pitch needs to be so powerful that it hooks the audience, giving you the momentum to carry your audience through all the “boring” statistics, graphs, and figures at the end.

That’s why your “Problem/Solution” narrative is so important! Good thing for you, we’ve refined pitch decks into a storytelling science. In fact, that’s what we’re be building at Ceemo in 2024: a pitch deck narrative engine based on our proprietary story arc IP and powered by artificial intelligence.

But you can benefit from our expertise right now, as part of the Ceemo Beta! Select packages – Rocket, Solar & Big Bang – include two 30-minute Pitch Deck Story Consults, where you’ll meet with our team on Zoom to solve your company’s storytelling challenges. (Who knows, you might even get help from our founder!)

Consults will take place on set days of the week, on a first-come, first-served basis. All throughout 2024, you can choose whichever availability best suits your schedule. It’s a great way to ensure your Ceemo pitch deck is not only beautiful, but also deeply compelling & impactful!

What’s a Pitch Deck Facelift?

Our experts have been creating award-winning pitch decks for nearly a decade & have refined it to a speedy science! We used to only do Pitch Deck Facelifts for our leading accelerator & university partners. In fact, we’ve even had facelift clients go on to win major pitch competitions.

Now – with ‘Solar’ and ‘Big Bang’ Ceemo beta packages – you can finally access this top notch personalized pitch support!

Pitch Deck Facelifts are 2.5 hour Zoom sessions where you & 1-2 members of our team collaborate on your deck in real time. You tell us about your business, the story you want to tell, and we’ll handle curating, creating, and compiling all the graphics, design, and visual layout. It’s the perfect way to get your Ceemo pitch deck ready for primetime!

Pitch Deck Facelifts will be available on set days of the week, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Full scheduling terms will be coming soon. Who knows, if you’re lucky, you may even get a Facelift session with our Founder, Heather Lawver! She’s helped underrepresented founders raise over $20 million in the past two years. She could be helping you next!

Act fast, because these will only be available to a limited number of beta participants!

In 2022, less than 2% of all venture capital dollars invested in the United States went to underrepresented founders. Two percent.

Ceemo was born from a belief that everyone should have an equal shot at writing their own startup success story. It shouldn’t matter where you come from, who you are, who you love, or the circumstances of your physical abilities.

What should matter?

1. Your ideas.
2. Your ability to see a better world where a current problem no longer exists, because you came up with a solution.
3. Finally, your ability to share that vision of a better world with others, to convince them to join you, invest in you, or buy from you.

Ceemo can’t solve bias. We can’t solve prejudice. But we can help solve access to foundational marketing.

The second pillar of Ceemo’s mission is the broader awareness & expansion of accessibility throughout the startup landscape.

There’s a huge gap in the market when it comes to understanding accessibility. Not many founders are aware it affects them. Heck, not many brand designers, marketing creatives, or pitch specialists realize their work needs to take accesibility into consideration! This unfortunate combination creates three key risks for founders.

1. In the best case scenario, if your marketing isn’t accessible it means up to 20% of the population can’t be reached by your marketing. That massively limits your market size & sales potential!
2. Once you do find out you need to be in compliance, it can be exceedingly expensive to remediate your brand, marketing materials, and website. It could even mean a complete re-brand!
3. In the worst case scenario, you discover this issue when you’re sued. It doesn’t matter how big or small you are. Everyone from a small Shopify website to a massive conglomerate can – and do – get sued for failing to meet accessibility requirements.

All together this is a significant legal liability & financial risk for startups. But for the disabled? That means they’re simply shut out of huge swaths of our market & daily life.

Accessibility is not only the right thing to do, it’s vitally important for securing the future of your startup.

You can create a big impact as part of the Ceemo beta.

We purposefully designed the Ceemo Beta program to include opportunities for you, as founders, to not only get your own branding & marketing needs taken care of, but to also meaningfully contribute to our underlying missions.

As described above, not only does the Big Bang package get you absolutely everything you need from our expert team to brand & pitch your company, it also means you’ll sponsor a Ceemo subscription for an underrepresented founder or non-profit.

What that means in detail is that when you subscribe, another founder will get a free Launch package, all thanks to you. That includes all the regular features, including a full year on the platform, every feature we release in 2024, and an invitation to join the Ceemo Discord.

Selection of the sponsored underrepresented founder or non-profit will be up to the Ceemo Team. Our decision will be based on a variety of criteria, including the social impact of the venture, the needs of the founder, and the potential for significant change.

If you purchase a Big Bang package, we welcome your nomination of specific founder(s) or non-profit(s) that you feel are deserving of a sponsored subscription! We will happily consider them, are excited to learn more about their ventures, but sadly cannot guarantee that they’ll be chosen. There are a limited number of sponsorships available and already a significant wait list of interested founders. For that reason, Ceemo reserves the right to determine final selections at our discretion.

Thank you very much for considering sponsoring a subscription & helping us to continue advancing our dual missions of equality in venture capital and advancing accessibility!
