Get Investor-Ready with a story that connects
In biotech, your pitch deck isn’t just slides, it’s often your first, and biggest, impression. It’s where your story needs to connect and make an impact, and where investors, pharma partners, and collaborators determine whether they see your potential or pass you by.
Image Conscious Studios helps founders and scientific communicators craft investor and non-con decks that make complex science clear, credible, and compelling — designed to deliver confidence and clarity in every meeting.
Why it matters
The biotech landscape has become increasingly competitive. Investors have so many companies to consider when deciding who to fund, and often they decide in moments whether your company feels fundable, credible, and worth the next conversation.
We combine scientific literacy, narrative strategy, and design excellence to help you earn confidence at every interaction. Whether you’re pitching at JP Morgan, reaching out to pharma for BD opportunities, or preparing for your Series A, your deck should tell a story investors can’t ignore.
Case in point: IDRx
When IDRx needed to raise their profile and attract strategic partners, ICS helped translate their science into a story investors could rally behind.
We restructured their narrative, refined their visuals, and extended the work into a complete website experience. The result: a stronger, more confident story that helped pave the way to their acquisition by GSK.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions. We’ve got real answers.
What makes a biotech pitch deck different from a typical startup deck?
Biotech pitch decks must balance scientific depth with investor clarity. You’re not just pitching a product, you’re pitching a platform, data, and team that can change lives. We help founders translate complex science into a story that’s credible, compelling, and visually persuasive for investors and pharma partners.
Who are these decks designed for?
We create decks for biotech founders, scientists, and communications leaders preparing for investor meetings, partnership discussions, or major events like the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference.
Every project starts with identifying your audiences—investors, pharma partners, potential collaborators—and understanding what motivates them. We tailor your story, visuals, and flow to speak directly to their priorities and move them to action.
Do you work with companies that don’t have a brand yet?
Yes. Many of our clients start with just a name, a logo, or a rough set of slides. We can build your visual language from scratch or evolve what you already have. Our goal is to make your story feel cohesive, credible, and ready for investors, no matter where you are in your journey.
How much does a biotech pitch deck cost?
Pricing typically starts at $10K, but cost depends on the depth of strategy, storytelling, and design involved. Some projects are focused on refining what you already have, while others include custom illustrations, data visualizations, or motion design.
Every project starts with a conversation to understand your goals, audience, and materials. Once we define what will make the most impact, we’ll outline the right approach and provide a tailored proposal.
We’ll always start with a conversation to understand your goals, existing materials, and timeline before providing a detailed proposal.
What’s included in the process?
Every project begins with a strategy session to identify your story and audience. From there, we refine your content, structure your narrative, and design a deck that communicates your value clearly and confidently. You’ll receive a presentation-ready deck (in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides) that you can easily update for future investor meetings.
Do you help with content and storytelling, or just design?
Both. We combine scientific storytelling and visual design to create cohesive, investor-ready presentations. Our writers and strategists work alongside your team to clarify your message, refine your flow, and ensure your data supports your story.
Can you make my deck “investor-ready” for JP Morgan or BIO?
Yes, our decks are designed with high-stakes presentations in mind. Many of our clients use ICS decks at JP Morgan, BIO, and other major industry events. We help you sharpen your message, tailor your visuals, and prepare for the 10-minute meetings that can change everything.
How long does it take?
Templates can be developed in 2–4 weeks from kickoff to delivery, depending on the scope and your responsiveness. Custom redesigns are typically 4-8 weeks. Need it faster? We can accelerate timelines for upcoming events when possible.
What if we already have a strong internal design team?
We’re collaborative by design. We can work alongside your internal design or comms team, providing content strategy, visual refinement, or investor-readiness consulting—whatever helps you get the most from your current resources.
What happens after the deck is done?
Your deck is just the beginning. Many clients continue working with us to evolve their brand, website, and investor communications. From pitch to IPO, we help biotech companies grow with clarity, confidence, and creative impact.
