Pitch Deck Agencies for Climate Tech Startups, Energy and Biotech Founders

How did we choose these agencies?

We ran web searches for climate, energy, cleantech and biotech pitch deck services, then opened every agency’s own website. An agency made the list only if its site was live and showed at least one of three things: a named climate, energy or life science project, a service page written for that sector, or a team built around scientific communication. We left out software tools, template shops and freelance marketplaces.

Every fact below comes from the agency’s own pages as of October 2026, so read funding totals and client counts as the agencies’ own claims. Climate and energy come first, life sciences last.

Why does a science-heavy startup need a different kind of pitch deck?

A pitch deck is the short slide presentation a founder uses to raise money. A SaaS founder can show a dashboard and a growth chart. A climate, energy or biotech founder has to explain physics, chemistry or biology, a long build period and a regulator before the investor even reaches the market slide.

Here is what changes:

• Longer timelines. Pilot plants, permits and clinical trials take years, so the deck has to show what each round of money buys and which risk it removes.
• More investor types. A climate VC, a utility’s venture arm, a pharma business development team and a public grant jury read the same science through different lenses.
• Technical proof without the textbook. Investors want evidence that the science works, packed into a chart they can read in ten seconds.

Grant bodies add hard limits on top. The EU’s EIC Accelerator programme asks for a pitch deck of up to ten slides at its short-application stage, next to a 12-page form and a video pitch of up to three minutes, according to the EIC’s own programme page. The same page lists a grant component below €2.5 million and equity investment of €1 million to €10 million. Ten slides is a brutal limit for a nuclear or gene therapy company.

Which pitch deck agencies handle climate tech, energy and biotech decks?

Each entry covers what the agency does, who it suits and one detail you can check.

2. Zamora Design

Zamora Design is a San Francisco presentation and brand agency that reports 16+ years in the city, 545+ projects and $700M+ raised by clients.

Its clearest energy credential is a case study for Transmutex, a company building a particle accelerator system that turns radioactive waste into carbon-free energy. Zamora built an 18-slide deck, moved the reactor schematics to the appendix and turned the technical content into economic charts. The case study ties the deck to an extension of Transmutex’s Series A of more than CHF 20 million.

Zamora publishes its prices: pitch decks cost $12,000 to $45,000 and take 3 to 10 weeks, according to its services section, for founders raising from Seed through Series B+.

Best for: energy and climate hardware founders who want a strategist to push the science into the appendix and the economics onto the main slides.

3. What if Design

What if Design is a remote-first creative team that names San Francisco and Bangalore as its closest bases. Its sector menu reads like a climate fund’s portfolio: carbon capture, electric vehicles, clean tech, green tech and frontier tech.

The homepage features client work for Susteon (a regenerative carbon project), Shine Billing (on-site solar for multi-family buildings) and LabStart (pathways for climate-tech ventures), and it reports 75+ clients served and $45M+ raised with pitches it designed. A dedicated page for battery startups names co-founder Akhila Kosaraju and says her teams have worked with ventures backed by the US Department of Energy and ARPA-E.

Timing on that page runs from 48 hours for a focused design fix to several weeks for a full investor deck with narrative and technical illustration.

Best for: battery, carbon capture and EV founders who also want their website or product design done by the same team.

4. Helloë Creative

Helloë Creative is the Los Angeles studio of Zoë Dove-Many, a brand strategist who spent ten years in graphic design before moving into climate work, according to her About page. The whole offer is built for climate startups.

The pitch deck service runs on a four-week schedule: a 3-hour story workshop in week one, a draft in week two, a revision in week three and the final deck in week four, with two revision rounds in total. Decks are built in Google Slides so founders can edit them later. The site says clients have raised $65 million and counting, and lists talks for climate programmes such as LACI, Climatebase, Imagine H2O and Terra.do.

One honest filter: the FAQ asks for product validation with research and documentation before you start, so pre-idea teams are turned away.

Best for: early climate founders whose story keeps getting lost in technical detail and who want one senior storyteller instead of a design team.

5. Yugen Agency

Yugen Agency is an impact studio in Birmingham, UK, that names climate, technology and “moral good” as its focus. Its sector list runs from carbon markets and renewables to agtech and the circular economy.

Its featured work includes Airhive, a direct air capture company that the site says became a top 20 finalist in the Carbon Removal XPRIZE. Yugen also lists Acre Insight, which connects land owners with renewable project partners. The homepage reports that past clients raised $40M in 2024 and that the team has worked with clients in 18 countries.

Yugen is brand-first. Its signature engagements start at £20K and run 8 weeks or longer, and the investor pitch sits inside a wider brand, messaging and web package.

Best for: climate startups that need the deck, the brand and the website to tell one story before a Seed or Series A round.

6. MasterRV Designers

MasterRV Designers is a presentation design company with offices in Mumbai and Phoenix, Arizona, according to its website. It runs a dedicated green energy practice for utilities, clean energy startups and engineering firms.

The energy page lists formats most deck agencies never mention: renewable project investment briefs for solar, wind and hydro, smart grid decks, ESG reporting presentations, and slides for regulatory hearings and policy advocacy. Its success story describes a 300 MW wind project pitch to government and private sector partners, with the client unnamed. The FAQ quotes 1 to 3 weeks for a typical job.

Best for: energy founders and project developers who pitch to regulators, utilities and public partners as regularly as to VCs.

7. aPitchDeck

aPitchDeck is a Chicago firm, operated by Mercury Retrograde LLC, whose site says it has developed 100+ VC-worthy pitch decks. Cleantech and biotech and healthcare both appear in its industries list.

The funding menu sets it apart on this list. Next to investor decks and financial models, it lists EIC call support, RFPs and grants, investment memorandums and pilot partnership materials. Its cleantech page says the team has worked with biofuel, solar farm and mine-repurposing startups, with a case study for Zap Energy (Australia).

Best for: climate and energy teams that mix VC money with grants and want one partner for the deck, the financial model and the application documents.

8. Theoria Creative

Theoria Creative is a biotech marketing firm in Redwood City, California. Its team describes itself as science-trained marketers who work directly with the biology, the data and the development strategy.

Its “deal-making communications” service covers private financing, IPOs, public-market roadshows, partnering and licensing talks, and company sales. The featured work lists investor presentations for Lexeo Therapeutics, Opna Bio and Addition Therapeutics, plus a public investor presentation for Metagenomi.

Best for: therapeutics and platform biotech companies preparing a financing round or a partnering conversation with pharma.

9. Random42

Random42 is a London scientific animation studio, part of The Lockwood Group, that assigns PhD-qualified scientists to every project, according to its homepage. It reports a team of over 70 animators and more than 400 awards.

Its imagery and slide deck service includes investor pitches built on 3D renders and clear data to prove a concept and present a pipeline, plus clinical trial decks that tell the story of a single molecule or trial design.

Best for: biotech and medtech founders whose mechanism of action needs a picture, or an animation, before an investor believes it.

10. First Create The Media

First Create The Media is a London communications and marketing agency for the life sciences that calls itself multi award-winning. For startups, it works as a plug-in comms team from Seed to Series A and beyond.

Pitch decks sit in its “strategy, story & brand” service next to corporate narrative, positioning and messaging, and its PR service covers investor comms. The site says the team is especially keen on techbio companies where biology meets technology, data science and AI, and that it also works with life science funders, VCs, accelerators and incubators.

Best for: life science and techbio startups that want the deck written as part of a wider story, PR and investor communications plan.

How do you choose and brief a pitch deck agency for a science-heavy startup?

Start with the room you are walking into. A deck for a climate VC, a deck for a corporate venture arm and an EIC short application overlap only in part, so the agency needs to know which one comes first.

1. Name the investor type. Climate VCs look for large emissions cuts and venture returns. Strategic corporates look for a fit with their own plants, products or pipeline. Grant bodies score against published criteria and slide limits.
2. Ask for a sector sample on a call. Several agencies on this list share examples privately. Ask to see one deck in your field and ask who wrote the story.
3. Check who holds the pen on the science. Theoria Creative, Random42 and First Create The Media advertise science-trained staff. With a design-led studio, plan for your CTO to sign off every technical claim.
4. Bring your numbers first. Unit economics, capital needs, trial timelines and permit status should exist before design starts. Helloë Creative asks for validation documents up front for this reason.
5. Plan for versions. Science companies raise in stages. Ask for an editable file (Google Slides, PowerPoint or Keynote) plus a short version for grant forms and first meetings.

Budget reality check: the published prices we found range from Zamora Design’s $12,000 to $45,000 deck projects to Yugen Agency’s brand engagements from £20K, while MasterRV Designers quotes 1 to 3 weeks for an energy deck. Ask every agency for a fixed quote with the number of revision rounds written in.

Red flags: zero science or hardware work in the portfolio, a quote before anyone asks about your investors, and funding claims with no named client.

Next steps: rehearse the story yourself before you pay anyone. The Fe/male Switch startup game walks founders through building a startup step by step, with playbooks for the business questions investors ask, so you arrive at the agency briefing with clear answers and a shorter bill.

FAQ

What is a pitch deck agency for climate tech startups?

A studio or consultancy that writes and designs investor presentations for companies working on emissions, energy, carbon removal and related fields, including the science translation.

How much does a climate tech pitch deck agency cost?

Zamora Design publishes $12,000 to $45,000 per deck and Yugen Agency’s engagements start at £20K. The others on this list do not publish prices.

How long does a science-heavy pitch deck take?

Which agencies focus on biotech investor presentations?

Theoria Creative, Random42 and First Create The Media work in life sciences, according to their websites. aPitchDeck also lists biotech and healthcare among its industries.

Can an agency help with an EIC Accelerator pitch deck?

aPitchDeck lists EIC call support and grant documents among its services. Keep the EIC’s rule in mind: the short application allows a pitch deck of up to ten slides.

Should the reactor diagram or the molecule go in the main deck?

Put the proof in the main deck and the mechanism in the appendix. Zamora Design’s Transmutex deck did exactly that.

Do I need product validation before hiring an agency?

Helloë Creative requires it. Arriving with research, pilot data and numbers also cuts paid revision rounds.

What is the difference between a climate VC deck and a corporate partner deck?

A climate VC deck sells a venture-scale return plus climate impact. A corporate partner deck shows how your technology fits the partner’s assets, products or pipeline, which is why Theoria Creative runs separate work for partnering and licensing talks.

Can I edit the deck after the agency hands it over?

Ask for that in writing. Helloë Creative builds in Google Slides, and Random42 designs decks to be updated for new trial phases.

Are funding totals on agency websites verified?

No. Figures such as $700M+ or $65 million raised are the agencies’ own claims. Ask for named references in your sector and call one before you sign.
