Design for YC Startups, Timed to Demo Day and the Raise After
Studio Huncho is a creative studio in Bangalore that designs brands, websites and launch films for YC startups, planned backwards from Demo Day and the raise that follows it. YC-backed clients include Further AI (W24), Coris (S22) and Nanonets (W17). Further AI's brand, website and motion went live in the window before its $25M Series A led by a16z.

What we make for YC companies
The things investors, first customers and new hires check in the weeks around Demo Day.
1. Brand identity
Logo, colour, type and imagery that hold up on a deck cover, a product screen and a launch post.
2. Website design
A homepage and core pages that explain the product to an investor in one scroll and to a buyer in two.
3. Webflow or Framer build
Built so your team can ship new pages and posts after launch without waiting on a developer.
4. Launch film
A short product film for the announcement, the raise and the homepage, usually made in 2 to 4 weeks.
5. Announcement kit
Social posts, banners and site updates ready for the day the round is announced.
Further AI's Series A led by a16z, with its brand, website, motion and Webflow build shipped in the window before it.
Merchants monitored, as shown on the Coris website we designed and built (Coris's own figure).
From your brief to a scoping doc and timeline, so you know early whether your date is realistic.
Our Process
Brief and brand
Eight weeks out: share a brief and get a scoping doc within 48 hours. Brand work starts first, since it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Website
Five weeks out: the homepage and core pages are designed on the new brand, and the build follows once designs are final.
Launch film
Three weeks out: script, styleframes, animation and sound, using the product screens and brand already locked.
The raise
After Demo Day: site updates as conversations start, plus social assets for the announcement when the round closes.
How the process usually goes

"They got what we were building from day one. The new site and motion graphics translated a technical AI product into something that actually feels like the future of risk infrastructure. Felt less like hiring an agency, more like adding a design partner to the team."
