Adrian Kuleszo — Co-Founder

After working with 60+ tech startups from pre-seed to Series C I keep seeing the same pattern - Most founders treat design like something to 'get done' so they can move on to shipping features. Then they hit Series A and realize their design is actively costing them deals. Here's what happens: → You raise a seed round on a scrappy MVP and a decent pitch. → 6 months later, you're hiring enterprise sales, running paid ads, talking to bigger VCs. → Your product evolved. Your GTM evolved. But your design didn't. Now you're stuck. → Enterprise buyers judge you in 3 seconds. → Investors compare your deck to 50 others they saw that week. → Your site converts at 2% when it should convert at 10%. Design isn't blocking your next stage - it's defining it. Most founders realize this too late. → They hire mid-fundraise (takes 4 months). → Or they patch together freelancers who execute well but can't think strategically. The pattern I've seen work: treat design like product. Embed a team that understands your stage, ships in weeks, and thinks about conversion and fundraising outcomes, not just aesthetics. That's what we built DesignMe to do. → We work with companies who need their design to match where they're going, not where they've been. Our work has supported over $150M in raises: ✅ Seamless.ai: 30% conversion increases, 25% engagement lifts ✅ n3xt.io: $66M raise (we did brand, product design, pitch deck) ✅ Lightdash: $19.5M raise, becoming a strategic partner for 14 months ✅ Datawizz.ai: $15M raise, from a Notion doc to a $12M raise in 3 months The companies that win don't have better ideas. They have better execution and better positioning. Design is a significant part of both. Our client perspective: "DesignMe has elite and top-tier talent. Their work increased engagement by 25%, boosted site conversions by 11%, and reduced bounce by 20%." — Philip LaChance, Seamless.ai "Impressed with their great outputs and design outcomes. Excellent project management capability, mostly centralized in one person who orchestrates tasks and aligns efforts to our needs. Very able to switch priorities on the fly." — Aurelien Bonnel, CTO, n3xt.io "DesignMe provided significant leverage. Exceptionally professional, always attentive, and offered direction that went beyond design." — Pri Patel, Lightdash.com Outside client work, I've built a 700k+ design community and taught 80,000 designers through htdb.co. Same principle: clarity compounds, complexity kills. If your design isn't accelerating your next stage, message me or reach out: hello@designme.agency
