We Don't Just Design Slides
We architect investor conversations.
Founded in London by former investment analysts who understood the gap between what founders present and what investors need to see, maple leopard exists to bridge that divide.
Our Approach
Every presentation we create starts with a simple question: what does your audience need to believe before they can say yes?
From there, we build backwards. Not from templates. Not from what looks impressive. From what persuades.
This means understanding investor psychology, market dynamics, and storytelling structure before we even open design software.
What Drives Us
Clarity Over Complexity
The best presentations make complex ideas feel simple. We strip away jargon and noise to reveal the core insight that matters.
Strategy Before Design
Beautiful slides that tell the wrong story are worthless. We start with narrative structure and let visual design amplify what's already strong.
Investor Perspective
We've sat on both sides of the table. We know what questions investors ask before they're asked. We build answers into the flow.
Speed With Rigor
Fundraising windows close quickly. We move fast without cutting corners, delivering presentations that work under deadline pressure.
Who We Work With
Our clients range from pre-revenue startups to Series B companies preparing for growth rounds. What they share is ambition paired with substance—businesses that deserve capital and need their presentation to prove it.
We've supported founders in fintech, healthcare technology, climate tech, enterprise software, and consumer platforms. Industry matters less than the quality of thinking and the strength of the opportunity.
Why We're Different
No Templates
Every presentation is built from scratch based on your specific narrative and investor audience.
Strategic Input
We challenge your story structure before we design it. Sometimes that means suggesting content changes that make the pitch stronger.
Investor Fluency
We understand term sheets, cap tables, and what due diligence looks like. We speak the language of both sides.
Real Deadlines
When you have a meeting on Friday, we deliver by Thursday. Not Thursday evening. Thursday morning.
