Fuel for the innovation engine

Embark is on a mission to get funding to startups faster. They’ve built a lending platform that turns approved (but delayed) government research grants into near-instant access to capital - so innovation doesn’t get stuck in the system.

They came to us with no name, no product, and no time to waste. We helped shape their story, build their brand, and bring the concept to life in a way that opened doors.They came for a deck. They left with a full suite that got them funded.

Selling the idea before it exists

Embark’s vision was clear: help founders move faster by unlocking access to their grant money sooner. In a world where bureaucracy regularly delays real progress, the idea had weight.

But ideas don’t pitch themselves. And for a brand-new startup, landing that first raise can make or break momentum. With no name, no product, and a tight timeline, the challenge was to give Embark presence, clarity and confidence - before they’d even written a line of code.

Building the brand while building the pitch

From day one, we worked in tandem - developing the brand identity alongside the pitch materials. When you’re presenting to investors, the first impression isn’t just visual, it’s emotional. Our job was to make Embark feel credible, fresh, and worth backing at first glance.

We explored logo and identity directions rooted in progress and precision, then pulled brand elements directly into the pitch design. The tone was intentional: professional without being corporate, sharp without losing warmth.

We also created the first version of their website - laying out the mission, process, and story in a clean, confident way that made it easy for potential investors (and early partners) to get on board. The result was a consistent system: from slide one to the final scroll.

One strong start

With their deck, brand and site working in sync, Embark closed their initial raise and are now building in earnest. The momentum they needed? Unlocked.

We’re continuing to support them through their next milestones - refining their materials and pushing the design system forward. Because the real journey’s just begun.

Embark was the 11th startup we’ve help helped raise investment, keeping up our 100% track record.

“They’ve brought Embark to life and have found a way to set us apart from the rest.”
