Sightbox for Venture Capital
Narrative architecture for portfolio companies at moments of high strategic leverage.
The Problem You're Solving
Your portfolio companies have strong products and real traction, but their narratives are underdeveloped. Founders pitch like engineers. Websites look like templates. Investor decks bury the lead. The gap between what the company is and how it presents itself is costing them deals, talent, and valuation.
You could send them to a traditional agency, but agencies bill hours, staff juniors, and treat strategy as a separate cost. You need a partner that operates like senior counsel: fast, judgment-led, and aligned with the fund's timeline and ownership structure.
How We Help Funds
Portfolio Narrative Intervention
Fixed-scope, fixed-price engagements (typically $25K–$75K, 3–5 weeks) that produce a canonical narrative frame: positioning, messaging, visual identity direction, and investor-ready narrative. Designed for pre-Series A through Series B companies.
Fund-Level Narrative Services
Narrative architecture for the fund itself: thesis articulation, portfolio storytelling, LP communications, and market positioning. We help funds present themselves with the same rigor they expect from their companies.
Standing Counsel Retainers
Ongoing partnerships with funds that want a consistent narrative partner across their portfolio. Monthly retainers ($8K–$25K/month) for continuous access, priority scheduling, and discounted Intervention rates.
Build + Ship Support
Execution of narrative into surfaces: marketing sites, product design, investor materials. Build can follow Intervention or be commissioned independently.
