Get More with Ceemo Beta

‘Don’t I just need a logo?’ Founders often think the first & only step to branding their startup is to hire a gig designer or use an AI image generator to create a logo.  $50 max and you’re off to the races! Trust us, we’ve been working with startups for over a decade. We’ve heard this story before.

“Just a logo” is just a mistake. When you create a logo first, you’re missing vital steps, leading to huge expense & liability. Does your logo reflect your unique strategy & identity? Do you know what fonts were used? Are you aware of font licensing & its expenses? Did you know AI-generated logos can’t be copyrighted? What about WCAG & ADA accessibility? These mistakes are how startups end up spending an average $30,000 – $50,000 on their foundational marketing, or worse, get sued!

You deserve expert help on day one. We developed Ceemo to create beautiful strategic brands, get founders funded with better pitch decks, and help you avoid these costly, time-consuming marketing mistakes.

Her hair is reddish brown & excessively curly. Below her photo is a bubble with the words, "We've helped startups raise over $20 million for 100% underrepresented founders".

“It’s like having magic pitch deck fairies!”

Startup Founder & Early Pilot Client

Hi, Founder Friends!

I’m Heather Lawver & I’m excited to welcome you to Ceemo! As a lifelong entrepreneur, I’ve seen time & again how the magic of a seamless brand & pitch deck can make it so much easier to explain who you are, what you do, and why it matters. When you master a strategic, compelling, cohesive story, you increase your odds of making that sale & securing that investment.

I built Ceemo because I want every founder to have an equal shot at startup success.

Each year less than 5% of venture capital is invested in women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ & Disabled founders. The first hurdle we face is the lack of a Friends & Family Round, which means we can’t afford the $30k-$50k average startups spend on early marketing support. If you’re like me, you cobble it together alone & take up to four times as long, making you’ll look slower & less market ready by comparison.

I can’t solve prejudice. I can’t solve bias. But I can solve this!

My team & I created Ceemo to democratize startup marketing & help founders avoid early mistakes that quickly explode into huge costs & liabilities. But before writing any code, we tested & refined our methods with over 300 founders & dozens of top accelerators & universities.

In less than two years, our clients raised over $20 million dollars, going to 100% underrepresented founders in majority Angel & Pre-Seed rounds!

Many of our pilot clients won some of the biggest pitch competitions on the planet, including SXSW, TechCrunch, and CES.

Now we’re automating & scaling that impact, bringing it straight to you. For a limited time with the Ceemo Beta & our exclusive one-on-one support options, my team & I will be right by your side, doing all we can to support you. 

Thank you for pouring your heart & soul into new innovations the world desperately needs. We can’t wait to hear about it & how we can help you succeed!

A CMO on a Mission

An illustration of Ceemo, checking out a file in his database, which is projected up from his left hand.

In 2022, less than 2% of all venture capital dollars invested in the United States went to underrepresented founders. Two percent.

Ceemo was born from a belief that everyone should have an equal shot at writing their own startup success story. It shouldn’t matter where you come from, who you are, who you love, or the circumstances of your physical abilities.

What should matter?

  1. Your ideas.
  2. Your ability to see a better world where a current problem no longer exists, because you came up with a solution.
  3. Finally, your ability to share that vision of a better world with others, to convince them to join you, invest in you, or buy from you.

Ceemo can’t solve bias. We can’t solve prejudice. But we can help solve access to foundational marketing.

That ability to share your story, your vision of a better world, to help increase your odds of making that sale or securing that investment; that’s what Ceemo is here to help every founder achieve.

Ceemo exists to make it easier & more affordable for every founder to refine their story & present it, both visually and verbally, through foundational marketing materials. Branding & pitching are two sides of the same storytelling coin, but up until now, they’ve existed in separate silos, leaving it up to founders to try to connect the dots. That’s the problem we’re solving with Ceemo:

  1. Giving founders easier access to meaningful, strategic brands, which are fully WCAG & ADA compliant.
  2. Creating the connective tissue that applies those brands consistently to all of your marketing materials.
  3. Generating pitch decks that are not only beautiful, but help you as a founder to refine your understanding of your own story & tell that story more effectively.

We’re proud to say that during our pilot, we rigorously tested our underlying branding & pitching methodologies with founders every major demographic of underrepresentation. We helped them raise over $20 million in venture capital in less than two years. Many of them went on to win some of the world’s most prestigious pitch competitions, including SXSW and CES.

Our methods work. Now it’s time to automate & scale so that at long last, we can level the venture capital playing field.

Together we can take a giant leap toward equity in venture capital. Let’s equip founders with the power of beautiful design, epic storytelling, and thoughtfully-applied technology, all to make 2022 the final year of single-digit investment in women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and Disabled founders.

The Importance of Accessibility

Ceemo the robot adjusts a dial on a website, showing text bars in a variety of shades of blue on a large computer monitor, with their actions being directed by a woman in a wheelchair wearing a bright yellow gradient shirt.

The second pillar of Ceemo’s mission is the broader awareness & expansion of accessibility throughout the startup landscape.

There’s a huge gap in the market when it comes to understanding accessibility. Not many founders are aware it affects them. Heck, not many brand designers, marketing creatives, or pitch specialists realize their work needs to take accesibility into consideration! This unfortunate combination creates three key risks for founders.

  1. In the best case scenario, if your marketing isn’t accessible it means up to 20% of the population can’t be reached by your marketing. That massively limits your market size & sales potential!
  2. Once you do find out you need to be in compliance, it can be exceedingly expensive to remediate your brand, marketing materials, and website. It could even mean a complete re-brand!
  3. In the worst case scenario, you discover this issue when you’re sued. It doesn’t matter how big or small you are. Everyone from a small Shopify website to a massive conglomerate can – and do – get sued for failing to meet accessibility requirements.

All together this is a significant legal liability & financial risk for startups. But for the disabled? That means they’re simply shut out of huge swaths of our market & daily life.

Accessibility is not only the right thing to do, it’s vitally important for securing the future of your startup.

What do we mean by accessibility? When most people think of the Americans with Disabilities Act, they think of handicap parking spots, ramps leading up to buildings, or automatic door openers. Yes, all of those things are about accessibility! But it goes so far beyond that.

A few years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that the Internet has become such a significant part of our economic landscape & daily life, that it’s akin to physical storefronts & public buildings. As such, it’s under the purview of the Americans with Disabilities Act to regulate how accessible these digital public spaces are. As such there are now legal requirements around how your branding, marketing, websites, and overall materials need to be created & maintained in order to ensure you remain compliant with regulation and are accessible to the disabled.

How do these regulations affect your branding? The biggest component relates to color contrast. It’s vitally important that there’s enough contrast between your text or design elements, and the background behind it, to ensure it’s readable for as many people as possible, including those with vision impairments. There are mathematical ratios for contrast that must be met for different design & layout scenarios, like text size.

We’ve painstakingly incorporated all of those contrast requirements into each & every aspect of the Ceemo branding generation & application system. Every brand we generate is fully WCAG & ADA compliant. Every pitch deck we generate applies colors in ways to maintain that compliance. We also publish a handy Accessibility Guide, to ensure you can continue to use & apply your branding in other ways, while still maintaining compliance. That way you can rest easy, knowing the foundation of your marketing was created to ensure the widest possible population can engage with your marketing, interact with your message, and hopefully, become your customer or investor.

There are other aspects of WCAG & ADA compliance that have to do with things like alt tags, to describe any visual design elements, or ensuring your PDFs and websites are accessible to screen readers for the blind. Rest assured, at Ceemo we’re working on incorporating each and every part of those requirements in our system as we expand to generate additional marketing materials. Because we want you to have the best chance of success selling to the widest possible market, we want you to be protected against lawsuits, and most of all, we want to build a world where the disabled are able to engage with all the innovations coming out of the amazing startups you’re building.

Accessibility deserves to be the industry standard. But it’s up to us to make that happen, one startup at a time.

What if I already have some brand elements I like?

If you already have some brand elements you like, but perhaps you don't have a fully brand book, or maybe you aren't sure if they're WCAG/ADA compliant, that's okay, we can still help at Ceemo!

If you have existing brand elements you like, go ahead and take the Ceemo Brand Quiz! Be sure to select keywords that you feel best reflect how you want your customers to perceive you. When you get to the results page, think about how the fonts, colors & marketing kit blend with your existing brand elements. Once you've found something you like, click Save.

From there, send us an email at hello@ceemo.ai and let us know you'd like to have a Custom Design Consult! These quick 15 minute meetings are completely free. You can chat with our expert designers, we can review your existing brand, your brand quiz selections, and come up with a plan to blend the two. We'll prepare a proposal and we'll go from there!

If you decide to move forward, once we've combined everything to craft your perfect brand, our design team can input your custom colors into the backend so that you'll be able to generate every Ceemo asset with your new completed colors! (We're still working on custom logo integration, which should be available this summer!)

We hope that helped answer your question! But if you still have any concerns about incorporating existing branding into Ceemo, please don't hesitate to contact us! Our team will be more than happy to help.

What if I want a custom icon to go with my wordmark logo?

Ceemo Beta participants will have access to an array of exclusive one-on-one optional upgrades, including hands-on design services from the same team of experts who have created Ceemo! 

What other optional upgrades do you offer?

Ceemo Beta participants can access optional one-on-one support services, including:
- Custom logo icon design development.
- Pitch Story Consults, to perfect your pitch narrative.
- Pitch Feedback & Coaching Sessions.
- 2.5hr Pitch Deck Facelift session, where our experts help you craft your pitch narrative, implement your unique story, and craft visuals to go into your Ceemo pitch deck.
- Public Speaking Coaching.
All of these services are priced based on a standard hourly rate, which is then discounted exclusively for Beta founding members.

Do you offer bulk discounts for accelerators or universities to participate in the beta?

Yes, we do! Please reach out to our founder at heather@ceemo.ai to discuss your program's unique size and needs.

What is your refund policy?

If you have not yet completed your brand quiz, you're welcome to contact us for a full refund within 30 days. If you have already completed the brand quiz and generated your brand assets, we do not offer a refund at that point. But please feel free to reach out to us as we are happy to review that on a case by case basis. We do reserve the right to amend that policy going forward.

What happens if there's a service outage?

As a beta participant, we'll ask for your patience & understanding, as we too are a startup! There are bound to be occasional glitches during the beta development process. Of course we will always do our best to offer only the best quality service! But the occasional risk of glitches is part of why we're offering such a significant discount for your participation in the beta. We hope that'll offset any temporary frustration or issues that may arise from the software still being in beta.

What if I run into a technical problem?

You're always welcome to contact Support, or post a message in the Support channel on our Ceemo Galaxy Discord server!

Are you going to sell my data or startup details?

Generally speaking, no! In fact, once your Ceemo pitch deck has been generated and placed in your Google Drive, we no longer have any access to it. So when you start filling in your pitch content, for instance, no one at Ceemo is looking over your shoulder or downloading any details about your startup.
The only time we will see any details about your startup is if you agree to participate in one of our live events, like a live community pitch deck facelift session, or if you share details in our community discord server. Anything you share there, you should share with the understanding that it may become public. But Ceemo certainly won't be selling any of that information.
What data will we collect? Our main goal in building Ceemo is to demolish the statistic that less than 2% of all venture capital reaches underrepresented founders. To that end, we will be tracking some impact data to see if we're successfully increasing the odds of you securing funding or building a sucessful startup. Occasionaly we'll ask our beta participants if they've received any kind of investment, a loan, if you seen an increase in sales; that sort of thing. But your participation in that is always voluntary! That said, if any of your investment information is public record, e.g. on Crunchbase, we'll likely have access to that at some point.
We'll also be tracking basic website stuff, like usage rates, how many marketing materials are generated, which templates and design motifs are most popular, which recommendations are chosen most often, etc. But all of that is collected for the purposes of improving the site & the services we provide, all in furtherance of our underlying mission.
What data will we share/sell? Right now we do have plans to potentially share impact data with our partners at Crunchbase, because they're also heavily invested in our mission to advance equality in venture capital. We're also really excited about the opportunity to see what other ways data might be able to drive insights in branding, marketing, color theory, and overall streamlining/accelerating of the startup & venture capital process. We want to make startup life easier & more efficient for founders, so we're sure as Ceemo continues to grow, the data will offer exciting possibilities to accomplish that goal. We don't know yet what all those possibilities are, so we do reserve the right to explore them as they come up. But rest assured, we'll always be honest, transparent, and open about that through our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and most importantly, in all our dealings directly with you! We sincerely hope we'll earn your trust as a dedicated force for good in the startup ecosystem.
As always, you're welcome to explore our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. But we hope this less legalese explanation will set your mind at ease!

What if I have more questions?

You're always welcome to reach out to us via our Contact page, or directly at hello@ceemo.ai, or via our Ceemo Galaxy Discord server!
