When you pitch, every second matters.
We help you make them count.
Eight Seconds builds strategic pitch decks that speak to investors, partners, or clients quickly and clearly.
With business insight, high-impact storytelling, smart design, and hands-on support, we stay with you from story to slides to delivery.
STRATEGY
We build on sharp insight into your business to pinpoint the levers that make the biggest impact.
STORY
Story is how strategy draws people in. Data and specs can inform, but we create narratives that connect and convert.
DELIVERY
Pitching happens off the slides, too. From one-pager to Q&A and coaching, everything’s designed to help you perform at your best.
The strategic and creative guidance made us realize what we were missing: clearly defined company values and brand identity. It made all the difference when we built our pitch, which resulted in in successful financing round.

FAQ
Come as you are. Some founders come with a finished deck that needs sharpening, others with scattered notes, and some with nothing but an idea. If you have a deck or a business plan, great. If not, a clear conversation about your goals works just as well. From there, we shape the right approach and handle structure, story, and design.
Timelines vary depending on scope. A focused Pitch & Go deck can be ready a few days, while deeper Pitch & Beyond projects usually take 4–6 weeks. We scope everything upfront so you know exactly when you’ll have it in hand.
Every deck is different because every startup is different. We price for what’s involved: number of slides, depth of strategy and design, timeline. You’ll always get a clear, founder-friendly quote before we start. For reference, Pitch & Go starts at CHF 1,500 for an expert review based on your existing material.

AI is great at building slides that look the part, the kind investors expect. But investors are not looking for what’s expected. They want to be wowed by an idea that feels original, a project with a clear edge, and above all a story they can connect to. That takes strategic insight and the kind of support you only get when you’re working with people who can push, guide, and back you when needed.
