Branding Agency for New York Startups

Studio Huncho is a creative studio in Bangalore that builds brands for New York startups, most of them in fintech, compliance and B2B SaaS: positioning, identity, website and launch video from one team. We are not based in New York. A New York morning is our evening, so we meet at the start of your day and keep working through your night. We rebuilt the brand and website for Sprinto, a compliance platform backed by Accel, around its $20M Series B, made the brand and website for Further AI (YC W24) before its $25M Series A led by a16z, and rebranded Refold AI from Cobalt in 45 days.

What a brand project covers

A brand project here covers what a New York buyer or investor will actually see: the name on the deck, the website, the product screens and the launch post. One team makes all of it, so nothing drifts between files.

Stage range of companies we've worked with

1. Positioning

We talk to the founders and a few customers, then write down in plain words who you sell to, what you replace and why you win. Every later design decision is checked against that page.

2. Identity

Logo, colour, type and a motion language, designed to hold up on a sales deck, a product login screen and a conference booth as well as on the website.

3. Guidelines

A guidelines file your team will open: rules, templates and real examples for decks, social posts and product UI, kept short enough to follow.

4. Website

The website is designed in the new identity and built in Webflow or Framer by the same people, so the brand you approved is the brand that goes live.

5. Launch video and kit

A launch video and a kit of social, deck and email assets, ready for the day you announce the rebrand or the round.

$25M

Further AI's Series A, led by a16z. Brand, website, motion and Webflow build were all finished in the run-up to it.

45 days

Kickoff to live for Refold AI's rebrand from Cobalt, new website included.

$14M

Simplismart's Series B, with NVIDIA among its backers. Its brand, website and motion are our work.

Why New York founders choose us for brand

Progress overnight

Bengaluru runs 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of New York. You review over breakfast, and the next round is waiting the following morning.

Timed to your raise

Tell us the date of your round or launch and we plan backwards from it. Further AI's brand and site were live before its Series A was announced.

Brand through to launch

Brand, website and launch video come from one team here, so you brief once and the story stays the same everywhere.
