Redesigning the Series A Deck for Helio Additive's $10M Raise
Giorgi Meskhi
Company Description
Helio Additive's Dragon software cuts 3D printing costs by 60%+, reduces print time by 30%, and eliminates hundreds of kilograms of waste per print - using patented first-principles thermo-mechanical simulation instead of data-hungry neural networks. With active projects at Polymaker, Autodesk, and Krauss Maffei, and $2M invested building a simulation engine that now returns full optimizations in under one minute.
Challenge
David came to us with an existing investor deck that needed a content restructure and full redesign - wanting cleaner, more readable slides and sharper messaging before heading into Series A investor meetings.
Solution
We redesigned the full deck with a cleaner visual direction and tightened narrative - working through two revision rounds and David's detailed slide-by-slide feedback before he took it directly into his first investor meetings.
Result
David headed into Series A investor meetings with a polished, investor-ready deck, making live tweaks based on real investor feedback - and Helio has since launched into Beta with Bambu Lab integration and partnerships with Polymaker and ADAXIS.
