Pitch decks price differently from other presentations because the work is different. You are not buying slides; you are buying an argument that survives a sceptical reader who has seen forty decks this month.
In 2026 the realistic range is $300 to $10,000, and the honest version of the answer depends far more on your stage and your content readiness than on slide count.
The market, by provider
| Provider | Typical price | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Marketplace freelancer | $100–500 | Founders who already have a finished, tested narrative and need visual execution. |
| Specialist studio | $300–2,500 | Most pre-seed to Series A founders. Narrative work plus design, editable files, accountability. |
| Pitch-deck agency / consultancy | $3,000–10,000+ | Later-stage rounds, complex financials, or teams wanting fundraising strategy alongside design. |
| Fundraising advisor with design attached | $5,000+ or equity | Founders buying introductions and process, where the deck is a by-product. |
Why stage changes the price more than slide count
A pre-seed deck sells an insight and a team. There is little traction to visualise, the financials are assumptions, and the work concentrates on making a non-obvious idea land quickly. A Series A deck sells repeatability: cohort behaviour, unit economics, channel efficiency. That is materially more data work — every chart has to be accurate, labelled, and defensible under questioning — and it is why the same twelve slides can cost three times as much at a later stage.
What changes your quote
- How ready your story is. Founders who arrive with a clear thesis pay for design. Founders who arrive with a data room and no argument pay for both.
- Financial modelling depth. Turning a model into three legible slides is skilled work.
- Appendix scope. Investors ask for detail; a good deck has it prepared rather than improvised.
- Rounds of iteration. Decks change during a raise as conversations sharpen the story. Editable master files let you make small changes yourself — insist on them.
- Deadline. Demo days and partner meetings are fixed dates; compressing a schedule costs more.
What we charge
Our investor decks start at $300 for a twelve-slide essential build, $500 with a full data-visualisation suite, and $900 for twenty slides with appendix and animation. Fixed quote before work starts, editable PowerPoint or Google Slides delivered, and a sample slide approved before full production.
Client decks we have designed have supported $22.8M+ in funding, including a single raise that closed at $20M — figures confirmed to us by the clients concerned. Full details on the investor pitch deck service page, and a real project walkthrough in this case study.
How to choose without overpaying
- Ask what changes besides the design. If nothing does, you are buying decoration for a document whose job is persuasion.
- Ask to see a sample slide from your own deck. Any studio confident in its work will do this. We include it as standard.
- Insist on editable native files. Not a locked PDF, not a web-only deck. Your raise will change; your deck must change with it.
- Match the spend to the round. A $10,000 deck for a $200,000 pre-seed is a misallocation. So is a $150 deck for a Series A.
