Grain & Proof
Brand · Story · Materials

Everything your company shows the people who matter.

The retailer meeting, the partnership pitch, the press inquiry, the raise — every important conversation runs on materials, and they’re usually built the night before. We build them once, as one system, and keep them ready.

Built once

One system, not one-off files rebuilt for every meeting.

Both sides

Made by people who’ve sat on the other side of the table.

Kept ready

The next conversation answered in 48 hours, not overnight.

What we build

01 — Offerings

Discrete engagements with a beginning and an end. You come in for the one you need; each is built to stand on its own and to carry into the next.

01

The Brand Deck

For every company with a story to tell

The company story, built once and designed to hold up in front of anyone — retailers, partners, press, customers, and eventually investors. Positioning, a designed deck on a proven architecture, and copy that adapts into every version you’ll need.

02

The Ready Room

Built before you need it

Big conversations rarely give notice. The one-pager, the press boilerplate, the partnership sheet, the investor teaser — set before the moment lands, so you answer in 48 hours instead of pulling an all-nighter.

03

The Raise Kit

For companies raising now

Every document a raise needs, built as one coherent system — the investor deck, the one or two-pager, the outreach, the data room. Same narrative, same numbers, same standard from first email to signed term sheet.

04

The Retainer

For companies in motion

Your outward-facing function, handled. The updates, refreshes, and asks that pile up between milestones — a deck for Tuesday’s meeting, a memo, a page, the investor note — drafted and kept current as the company moves.

And adjacent
Websites & landing pages — the site brought in line with the system. Launch & retail materials — line sheets, trade decks, press kits. Gated microsite — one password-protected link; you see who’s engaging. Board materials — quarterly decks and pre-reads, same narrative system. Meeting rehearsal — Q&A pressure-testing before the one that matters. Financial story support — your model, made presentation-ready.
02 — Approach

A deck is two documents wearing one cover: the one you look at, and the one that gets funded.

The look

Materials that hold up in the room — designed to a standard, not thrown together the night before. The craft is visible, and it’s the reason people take the argument seriously in the first place.

The argument

What the audience has to believe, in what order, with the evidence beneath each step. Built by people who’ve been on the other side of that table and know exactly where a story loses the room.
