Brand and web
for Austin tech.
From our London studio, we work with funded technology companies in Austin. Brand and web shipped in two weeks across UK and US time zones.
Brand for trust
Identity that signals real product to investors, enterprise buyers, and senior hires.
Web that converts
Launch-ready websites built to convert technical buyers and enterprise pipelines.
Creative on retainer
A senior creative team in your Slack. Monthly pool for design, motion, video, and copy.
Kickoff to launch in 14 days.
Discover
Async questionnaire and AI-powered research. No workshops, no delays. We map your market, audience, and competitors before the first call.
Design
Strategy signed off, then straight into design. Senior creatives, not juniors. Logo, visual system, and brand assets. Three feedback rounds built in.
Deliver
Delivered live and functional. Brand files exported, guidelines packaged, social kit ready. Not a PDF deck. Working assets you can use the day we're done.
We hired POW Studio to add 10 sections to our Framer site. They came back with a completely different recommendation and rebuilt the whole thing from scratch - CMS, CRM, blog, design system, everything. It changed our entire roadmap. When your studio moves that fast, you don't reduce scope. You pull forward things that were months away.
Questions.
London, United Kingdom. The studio is fully remote-friendly but the team is London-anchored. Founders Charlie Simpson and David Henshaw run the work from London, and roughly half our clients are US-based, including teams in Austin, New York, and SF. We invoice GBP or USD from a UK Ltd, your choice.
London is six hours ahead of Austin. We take morning calls in your afternoon and afternoon calls in your morning. Async work happens overnight on your side, which usually speeds the work up rather than slows it down. The overlap covers a full Central-time working day plus the London morning, which is more contact time than most US-to-US agencies offer.
Sometimes. We travel to the US for kickoffs, brand reveals, or major milestones when it makes sense for the engagement, including East Austin and Downtown. Day-to-day work runs over Slack, async docs in Figma and Notion, and weekly video calls. SXSW week and Consensus tend to be when we are in town.
Yes. We invoice in GBP or USD from a UK Ltd. Most US clients pay USD via wire or ACH. Net-30 is standard. We can also accept stablecoin payment for crypto-native clients if that suits your treasury setup, which is increasingly common for Texas crypto teams.
The two-week Brand Sprint is $15,000 fixed. The Web Package starts at $10,000 and runs up to $20,000 depending on scope. The Growth retainer starts at $7,000 per month. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, no retainer required to start. Full pricing context sits in the Funded Startup Brand Benchmarks 2026 report.
Two weeks for the Brand Sprint. Two to three weeks for the Web Package. Run them back-to-back and you are live with a new identity and a launch-ready site in five weeks total. Full rebrands run 10 to 16 weeks. Regulated fintech or token launches under live counsel review usually stretch the calendar a little longer.
Charlie Simpson and David Henshaw. Founder-led, every engagement. There is no junior account manager between you and the work. Both have 15-plus years inside the tech and creative scene, including senior creative leadership at Gala Games and Bitkraft-backed studios. You meet the people doing the work on day one and you keep meeting them through to launch.
T3, Helms Workshop, and McGarrah Jessee all do strong creative work in and around the Austin market. POW sits at a different end of the spectrum, London-anchored, founder-led, two-week sprints rather than month-long discoveries, and built only for funded AI, fintech, and crypto startups. We do not chase consumer brand or general SaaS work, which keeps the methodology sharp. A longer breakdown sits in our guide to the best branding agencies for funded startups in 2026.
Seed to Series C technology companies in AI, fintech, and crypto. Mostly funded, mostly preparing for or just after a raise, mostly at the moment their existing brand has stopped doing its job. The Austin cohort skews crypto-native and AI infrastructure, plus a growing wave of founders who moved from California in the last three years. We design knowing your next pitch is at Multicoin, 8VC, or LiveOak, not a generic Zoom call.
Yes. We have shipped under live legal review four times this year for crypto teams under SEC scrutiny. The mechanics translate directly to US fintech under FinCEN, OCC, or state-level review. We design knowing legal will redline copy, templates flex around what your team needs to redact, replace, or rephrase, and compliance review adds elapsed time, not work time.
Yes. Austin's crypto base shifted significantly post-mining when energy economics moved attention from rigs in West Texas to L1 infrastructure and consumer Web3 in Austin itself. Most of our crypto clients ship into the same investor pool that funds Austin Web3, including Multicoin, 8VC, and Pantera. We know the rhythm of Consensus, and the broader Texas crypto calendar.
A lot of our recent Austin clients are founders who left SF or LA for the lower-tax, faster-zoning Texas setup but still raise from CA-based VCs. We are familiar with that pattern and the operational friction of running ops from Austin while pitching Sand Hill Road. The London base actually helps. We cover both PT and Central time in a single working day.
Yes, within the funded-tech remit. We have shipped brand and web for crypto infrastructure, AI infrastructure, and DePIN networks, which sit close to deep-tech in terms of technical audience and credibility requirements. We do not work on consumer hardware brands, but if your story sits at the intersection of compute, networks, or protocols, we have done the work before.
Most clients move into a Growth retainer. Ongoing brand stewardship, ad creative, content support, conference assets, founder content. From $7,000 a month. Hemi is on a $75,000 per month retainer with us. The retainer keeps the studio embedded so you do not have to brief a new team every time you ship a campaign or a fundraise update.
Usually within one to two weeks of signing. We run two engagements concurrently maximum, which keeps quality high and timelines tight. If you need to ship before a fundraise, a launch, or SXSW, tell us the deadline at first call and we will tell you straight whether the calendar works.
We only work with funded technology companies. You will not waste week one explaining what a Series A deck needs to do, why your developer audience differs from your investor audience, or why your homepage has three jobs at once. Sector-fluent, founder-led, and our portfolio is the only one in the room for AI, fintech, and crypto at funded scale.
The Web Package stands alone. We work to your existing brand guidelines, identity, and tone of voice. Two to four weeks from kickoff to live site, on your existing domain, ready to perform. If the brand needs a tune-up alongside the site, we can bolt on a positioning sprint without committing to a full rebrand.
