Brand Partner™
Get a brand identity that makes your first clients say yes without questioning if you're legit.
Do you recognize yourself here?
Your pitch is solid. Your product too. But your deck looks amateurish, and investors are doubting before they even reach slide 3.
You know you only have one chance to make a good impression. In front of an investor, a client, a jury. Yet you doubt your own visual identity.
40-60 hours a month wrestling with Canva. You know it's a waste. The result still looks cheap. But you keep tweaking anyway.
Your pitch is in a few weeks. You're going to blend into a sea of identical pitch decks while the startup with the slick brand gets all the attention.
You've tried Fiverr. You've downloaded free templates. You've DIY'd until 2am. Nothing looks professional. So you tell yourself: "I'll fix this after we raise."
“While you're tinkering with your logo, your competitors are pitching with an identity that rocks and they're closing the deals you're missing.
Who am I?
My name is Maxime Breynat and I'm a Brand Designer specialized in brand identities for tech startups.
In 5 years, I've explored brand design from every angle.
In 5 years, I've achieved things I thought were impossible.
Founded a mentoring platform for entrepreneurs and got incubated.
Became a design professor at Web School Factory at 28.
Lead the Friends of Figma Marseille chapter with 71+ members.
Co-wrote a book with other experts, the 'Practical Guide to Communities'
Gained the trust of established clients: ENGIE, Figma, OvinAlp, EDF...
16+ companies have trusted me to bring their brand visions to life
Brand Partner™ is for you if...
You're a Founder/Co-Founder raising your seed round, your investor deck looks amateur compared to the VCs' portfolio companies.
You're the CMO of a scale-up, but your Canva branding makes you look like an amateur. You're losing deals because of your image, not your product.
You're a CEO closing B2B clients, but procurement teams and clients doubt your credibility the second they see your branding.
You're a Program Manager at an incubator, half your cohort waste time on identical Canva templates.
You're CTO or Product Manager, youre product is solid, but it's impossible to differentiate yourself from your competitors. You're fighting on features instead of standing out through positioning.
Brand Partner™ is not for you if...
You already have an in-house design team that manages your branding autonomously and everything runs smoothly.
You just want a logo delivered in 48 hours without strategic thinking.
You don't want to get involved in strategic workshops. You expect a designer to guess your vision without ever validating anything.
You think branding is bullshit. For you, only the product matters, and visual identity is useless for convincing investors or clients.
You want unlimited modifications for 6 months with a designer available 24/7.
