  • Supercharging Ostrom's storytelling for fundraising.

    "As first-time founders in a tough macroeconomic environment, having a pitch deck that stood out really gave us the confidence as we closed our Series A round at Ostrom. Working with the Urban Impact team was straightforward and fast — it took just a few days to get back super slick slides that helped us with our storytelling!"
