Our Role

We partnered with Opal Ventures to:

• Create a distinctive brand identity aligned with their founder-first ethos.
• Design their fund deck to capture their unique approach and right-to-win narrative.
• Develop a modern website through Webflow, reflecting their approachable yet professional tone.
• Design a quarterly LP update template to maintain consistent and engaging communication with stakeholders.
