Deck Sprint

Fix the part of your deck that isn’t working

You don’t always need a complete deck rebuild.

Sometimes it’s the market section. The product explanation. The positioning. Five important slides. Or the way you’re pitching the company when you present them.

Deck Sprint gives you focused help on one specific deck problem.

Latest Projects

Nothing else needs to become a bigger project than it is.

The goal is to fix one problem.

1

Strategy

Figure out what the section actually needs to communicate, what argument it should make, and what belongs on the page.
2

Research

Fill important gaps around the market, competition, positioning, benchmarks, or other information needed to make the argument stronger.
3

Messaging

Make complicated ideas easier to understand and replace generic language with something specific to your company.
4

Copy

Turn the thinking into actual headlines, supporting copy, labels, and slide content.
5

Pitch

Turn the slides into a clear spoken story. Work through what you say, what you skip, how you transition between ideas, what deserves emphasis, and how you explain difficult parts of the deck.
6

Design

Turn the final thinking into slides that are easy to scan, understand, and remember.

Simple by design

1

Send me what you have

Your deck, notes, research, screenshots, documents, or anything else that gives me useful context.
Tell me what you think the problem is and what the deck or pitch needs to accomplish.
2

I dig into the problem

I review the materials and work out what is actually getting in the way.
Sometimes the problem is the copy. Sometimes it’s the argument.
Sometimes important information is missing. Sometimes there’s simply too much information fighting for attention.
3

I do the work

Depending on the sprint, that can include strategy, research, positioning, structure, copy, data visualization, slide design, pitch structure, or presentation feedback.
You don’t need to decide which discipline you’re buying. We start with the problem.
4

You get something you can use

Not a generic audit telling you what you should fix yourself.
The work goes into the actual messaging, structure, or slides.

One person who knows this well

Duygu Dulger, Founder

I run Deck Studio solo.
That means the person reviewing your materials is the same person thinking through the problem, writing the copy, shaping the argument, working on the slides, and helping you figure out how to communicate the story when you present it.
I’ve worked on decks across different industries, markets, and stages, including companies that later went on to Antler, Techstars, TechCrunch Startup Battlefield, acquisitions, and multimillion-dollar raises.
A lot of that work comes down to the same thing:
There’s already plenty of information.
The difficult part is figuring out what matters, what to say about it, and how to make someone else understand it quickly.
Deck Sprint is a way to bring that work into a smaller, focused engagement.

Deck Sprint

One focused deck problem. Depending on what you need, your sprint can include:

 

  • Review of your existing materials
  • Strategy
  • Research
  • Positioning and messaging
  • Story and structure
  • Copywriting
  • Data visualization
  • Slide design

No.
Deck Sprint can be used for an investor deck, sales deck, partnership deck, company presentation, one-pager, or another presentation-related problem.
