Discover
Async questionnaire and AI-powered research. No workshops, no delays. We map your market, audience, and competitors before the first call.

Questions.
London, United Kingdom. About half of our clients sit in the US, including teams across SF, SOMA, Mission, and the wider Bay Area. London is eight hours ahead of San Francisco, so our afternoon catches your morning standup window. We hold live calls in your morning block and run async work through Slack and Figma for the rest of your day.
The Brand Sprint covers positioning, identity system, typography, colour, logo, and basic brand guidelines, delivered in two weeks. The Web Package covers IA, copy direction, design, build, and launch on Webflow, Framer, or custom code, delivered in two to four weeks. Both run founder-led with weekly working sessions and async iteration in between.
The 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. We invoice GBP or USD from a UK Ltd. Wire transfer or ACH, Net-30 standard. The full pricing context for funded-startup rebrands 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. Teams under SEC, FinCEN, or California DFPI review run longer because of legal turnaround, not because of design.
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 London's 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.
Happy to when we are in town. We travel to the Bay Area for kickoffs, brand reveals, or investor-prep sessions where the team prefers same-room. Day-to-day work stays async over Slack and Figma, which is how most funded teams already operate. Working sessions in SOMA, Mission, or down on Sand Hill, all on the table when we are stateside.
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 a conference like Demo Day, Consensus, or AI Engineer Summit, tell us the deadline at first call and we will tell you straight whether the calendar works.
Manual, Character, and Hovercraft all do strong work and sit at a different point on the spectrum. Manual leans into product-led brands and big retainers. Character is identity at studio scale with a deep Bay Area roster. Order is heavy strategy and identity for enterprise SaaS. POW is founder-led, sector-narrow, and built around two-week sprints rather than multi-month retainers from day one. We only work with funded AI, fintech, and crypto. A longer breakdown sits in our guide to the best branding agencies for funded startups in 2026.
Most generalist agencies serve consumer brands, enterprise comms, or broad SaaS. We only work with funded technology companies in AI, fintech, and crypto. 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, fixed scope and fixed timeline.
Hemi is a Bitcoin layer-2 with Bay Area capital and engineering on the cap table. We took them from pre-launch identity through to $1.2B secured. Datagram is a DePIN network we took from positioning to 100,000+ network signups in four weeks. OSMI drove $2M in launch revenue. Binsr Inspect shipped a six-page Rails site for $9k versus a $26-52k market equivalent. Full portfolio on the work page.
Seed to Series C technology companies in AI, fintech, crypto, and B2B SaaS. The Bay Area cohort skews AI and developer tools, often funded by a16z, Sequoia, Founders Fund, or Sand Hill tier-one funds, and frequently mid-rebrand before a raise or a launch. We design knowing your next pitch is on Sand Hill Road, not a 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, FINRA, or California DFPI review. We design knowing legal will redline copy. Templates flex around what your team needs to redact, replace, or rephrase. Compliance review adds elapsed time, not work time.
Yes. Launch campaigns, social assets, conference materials, paid ad creative, investor updates, founder content. Most clients move into a Growth retainer after launch for ongoing brand stewardship from $7,000 per month. Hemi is on a $75,000 per month retainer with us. We treat the launch as the start of the relationship, not the end.
Most clients move into a Growth retainer. Ongoing brand stewardship, ad creative, content support, conference assets. From $7,000 a month. The retainer keeps the studio embedded so you do not have to brief a new team every time you ship a campaign, a fundraise update, or a product launch.
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 a full rebrand.
By portfolio and by network rather than by zip code. Several of our founders, investors, and clients sit in San Francisco, and we travel out for kickoffs and launches. We follow the SF AI, crypto, and developer-tools ecosystems closely, including the Cerebral Valley AI scene, Bitcoin and DeFi events, and the SOMA founder community.
