One of the clients of the comp. I worked for asked the marketing dep to help revise his deck, and it was ultimately completely redesigned by me and my designer.
Memelut, an innovative "Tinder for Memes" platform where users swipe to discover and invest in meme tokens, needed a compelling investor narrative. I completely redesigned their pitch deck, transforming technical complexity into an engaging story that successfully helped them close their funding round.
Challenge
Novel Concept: Explaining the "swipe-to-invest" meme token marketplace to traditional investors
Technical Barriers: Simplifying complex tokenomics and blockchain mechanics
Engagement Storytelling: Conveying the addictive, gamified nature of the platform
Market Positioning: Differentiating from both social media and crypto investment platforms
Strategy
I restructured the pitch deck around a crystal-clear value proposition:
Core Concept: — familiar swiping mechanics applied to meme investment
Investment Thesis: Early discovery and valuation of viral content through intuitive interface
Network Effects: Clear explanation of how user growth accelerates platform value
Revenue Model: Transparent tokenomics and monetization strategy
The redesign focused on:
Simplifying complex mechanics through visual metaphors
Creating a narrative journey that paralleled the user experience
Emphasizing market opportunity and scalability
Highlighting the founding team's unique expertise
Process
Working closely with a designer, our collaborative approach included:
Concept Distillation: Refining Memelut's core proposition to its clearest essence
Visual Storytelling: Creating intuitive visuals showing the swipe-to-invest mechanism
Market Analysis: Developing compelling slides on target audience and market size
Growth Strategy: Illustrating clear path to user acquisition and revenue generation
Investor Tailoring: Adapting specific slides for different investor profiles
Results
Successfully closed funding round with multiple investors
Pitch Efficiency: Reduced average pitch time from 35 to 10 minutes
Investor Understanding: Eliminated comprehension barriers around novel concept
Valuation Impact: Contributed to favorable valuation terms
