Frequently Asked Questions

  • Investor deck development engagements begin at $25,000 and scale with company stage, raise size, and timeline, standalone deck design is less. Select advisory and design projects like branding and websites start lower. We scope precisely after an intro call.

  • Typically 8–12 weeks from kickoff, though we can meet any timeline under the right circumstances. Our pitch uplift engagement takes 6 weeks and design-only 3 weeks.

  • Yes. We work with emerging managers (Supply Change Capital) through billi on-dollar platforms (Mubadala Capital) across venture, PE/credit, real estate, and hedge funds — LP decks, AGM materials, tear sheets, PPMs, and ongoing IR support. Our founder has spent her entire career spanning both financial institutions and companies.

  • We provide decades of strategic finance, investing, and deal-making experience that other agencies do not offer. Most of our competitors specialize in public pitching or marketing, two industries that public companies do not tap into when they prepare to raise capital. Large companies engage investment banks—strategic financial institutions—when they need help raising capital. Our founder began her career at a tier one investment bank Morgan Stanley and hires business team talent with a similar pedigree.

  • Kelly Lyons is personally involved in every engagement, and is supported by a curated team of senior level professionals, there are no junior support members. Even the design team operates on a higher level of professionalism with respect to communication, project management, and deadlines as working in a wall street environment is baked into the fabric of the company.

  • Founders looking for a quick template polish or the lowest-cost design option. Our work is strategy-heavy, senior-led, and priced accordingly.

Our Clients See Results

  • “Lyonshare changed how we communicated our story to a much more clear, concise and compelling reason to invest. While the value proposition was there, Kelly helped us identify the true sustainable differentiators and we oversubscribed our round to the 20% max.”

    - aptihealth, Dan Pickett, CEO

  • “Crafting a clear and concise message about the fund's purpose (or the "why") is one of the hardest things to do. The Lyonshare team took the heavy lift out of finding the right words and supporting data to deliver a deck suitable for the sophisticated investors our next raise will target.”

    - Altari Ventures, Anna Garcia, Fund GP

  • “This kind of work is not to be taken lightly, and the amount of work that goes into developing this is quite evident in the results. While there was initial sticker shock, I knew I would be happy with the result of the work. Prospective clients need to know the level of professionalism you have is top notch, and they need to really be prepared to dig into their business to do some real work.”

    - BC3, Wayne Grube, Founder

  • “The team is professional, considerate, smart, and will diligently build materials to support the raise. I not only respect and appreciate the work they did, but also enjoyed working with them in the process. An exceptional team with a great outcome.”
