How I help startups
Your deck is the first signal investors have of your ability to think and execute.
and many others
Pitch deck designer + strategist
The bar for a deck that raises serious money is higher than most founders realize. The first time I saw a deck from a seasoned fundraiser, it was levels above the typical deck in sophistication: the narrative, the depth of the metrics, and how clearly it showed a real understanding of the business.
Getting a fundraising asset to that level takes a lot of analysis, judgment, and effort. I design and build a deck that meets that standard, then deliver it in a human and AI-friendly format.
Why founders work with me
I'm a YC founder who raised money myself and spent 16 years working in product, so I'm closer to a peer than an agency or employee. I’ve advised on decks for Pre-seed and been hired to work on Seed to Series F rounds for startups in the US and India.
How I help nonprofits
Nonprofit fundraising, from strategy to working systems.
Fundraising materials
I work with you to build your complete case for support: the story of why your work matters, your measured impact, and tiered giving structures for corporate sponsors and individual donors. This can include creating fundraising packets and decks, designing sponsorship levels, building a unified donor database, and advising on fundraising cycles and timelines.
Technology implementation
I set up the tools behind your campaigns, from donation platforms like Givebutter to tap-to-pay at events, I find and implement solutions that fit your donor audience.
Why nonprofits work with me
I understand both sides of nonprofit fundraising: the strategy and the technology. I built a payments tool at my first company and led the team behind a donations platform as an EIR. I do the work of a small team, so your budget goes a lot further.
What people say
From founders and leaders I've worked with.
“Shahbano & Tyler have been one of the major reasons why we’ve done well on design and UIUX. They show incredible ownership in all the projects we’ve taken up with them, and went beyond scope to help us with implementation as well. Specifically if you’re working on investor decks or customer-facing apps/websites, it’s a no-brainer”
“We loved working with Shahbano & Tyler - they’re fast, trustworthy, and produce top notch work. Designers of this caliber are hard to find. They’ll be at the top of my list for any future projects for sure.”
“Shahbano is my go-to for the hardest fundraising and technology challenges we face. She’s extremely creative, capable, fast, knowledgeable and aware. Her AI training was enlightening and expanded our capabilities as an org.”
