Why Most Founder–Designer Relationships Fail

You don't need another vendor.
You need someone who gets it.

You don't need another vendor.
You need someone who gets it.
You're pre-seed or Series A. Every decision carries weight. You need design that closes investors, converts users, and ships before the window closes, not a team that needs three briefs, two revision rounds, and a project manager just to get started.
Most design agencies don't understand your world. They understand deliverables. They'll make it beautiful and hand it back. What happens after isn't their problem.
We built Persist Designs for exactly this gap.
For the past five years, we’ve been designing websites with care, clarity, and a genuine love for the craft.
Backed by over 20 years of hands-on design experience, we understand that every detail matters. Our approach is simple: we listen closely, design with intention, and build visuals that feel just right for your brand.
The result is work that connects with people, stands out online, and helps your business grow with confidence.

Persist Designs is the design partner for founders, built inside and backed by Persist Ventures, an active venture studio. That means we don't just see design briefs. We see cap tables, pitch rooms, product roadmaps, and the moments where design either makes or breaks the outcome.

We’ve been extremely happy with the platform quality and speed of execution. Discussions are already underway around new features and advanced capabilities, and we’re actively moving forward with additional rollouts. That reflects the strong confidence we have in the team and this long-term partnership.
Dr. Amanda Sheaffer
CEO of Vyspar
Persist Designs has been a reliable partner in our marketing, from pitch decks to social content. Their calm, professional approach helped us stay organized and meet tight deadlines.
Abhishek Gupta

We appreciated the transparency throughout the vault lifecycle. It gave us clear visibility and confidence at every stage. The automated verification was highly accurate and saved our team significant manual work, while the reputation-based creator filtering helped us connect with the right people from the start.
Juda Neal & Vera van Lier
CEO of ChainReach
Extremely satisfied! The team truly brought my idea to life with a modern, meaningful logo that perfectly blends medical symbolism with elegance. They were professional, detailed, and easy to understand.
Dr. Guinwa Khaddaj

Working with PV’s design team was a great experience. They understand modern design, have a strong eye for detail and layout, communicate clearly, and consistently deliver on time. I’d gladly work with them again.
