# Launch Deck

> Launch Deck (Launch Deck DOO) is a senior-only strategic design studio for startups and scaleups, based in Belgrade, Serbia. We help founders raise and grow through pitch decks, branding, presentation and product design, websites, and investor materials. Since 2020 we've shipped 1,000+ decks and 300+ projects across 15+ industries, and our clients have raised $60M+.

Launch Deck is run by two founders: Arthur Gusev (CEO), who leads narrative and content, and Vladimir Pletyukhin (Creative Director), who leads design. We've been on the other side of the table — we mentor startups, scout for VCs, and review pitches inside accelerator programs, so we know what decision-makers filter for. Our recommendations come from research, not hunches: we published *How to Rocket Your Fundraising: The New Pitch Deck Playbook*, built from interviews with 100+ investors across 11 industries and 7 regions.

We work senior-only — no juniors, no account managers between you and the people doing the work. For projects that need more (development, animation, financial modeling, copywriting) we bring in specialists from a network built over six years and stay in the lead. Known for pitch decks, but the work runs broader: brand systems, websites, investor materials, launch videos, and stage presentations.
