Brand Strategy + Investor Deck

Vaagen.

Full brand identity and investor narrative for an early-stage outdoor mobility startup raising their 2026 seed round.

The Brief.

Vaagen needed a brand identity and investor story built from scratch — one that could hold up in a pitch room and on a product page at the same time. The brand had to feel premium without feeling inaccessible, and technical without feeling cold.

The Work.

Developed the full brand positioning strategy — big idea, launch territory, voice, visual system, and audience definition. Then translated that strategy directly into a 15-slide investor deck built for their 2026 seed round, with every slide designed to move an investor from awareness to conviction.
