€100M raised to back the future of industrial deep tech
Visionaries Tomorrow is an early-stage deep tech fund backed by leading unicorn founders and industrial leaders.
As they prepared to raise their first fund, they knew they had something different to offer and wanted their investor deck to show it just as clearly as they explained it in person. So they brought us in to help shape that story.
Process
As with every project, we started by reviewing everything our client already had, from brand identity and visual assets to their existing presentation. From the first call, their brand stood out. That gave us a great foundation that we further elevated. Rather than starting over, we focused on what would make the biggest difference: sharpening the storyline.

Storytelling
Talking with the founders, one thing was obvious: Visionaries Tomorrow wasn’t just another VC fund. Their thinking was ambitious, their network was exceptional, and their ideas came through with real energy in conversation.
Our job was to capture that same clarity on the slides. Together, we worked on what they do, who they back, and why it matters, until each message was focused and the narrative flowed from one idea to the next. We kept refining until we were confident that, paired with strong visuals, the story would make investors want to be part of the fund.
Design selection
Visionaries Tomorrow already had a strong visual identity, so this was about evolution, not reinvention. We simplified it for presentations and documents and gave it a slightly more mature feel to match the audience they were speaking to.
The changes were small but deliberate. The most notable was an updated texture, a single adjustment that now lets their team create hundreds of on-brand variations, keeping slides consistent yet fresh every time.
Template
A template wasn’t part of the original brief. Visionaries Tomorrow came to us for an investor deck. But as we refined the brand for presentations, it became clear that a PowerPoint template would make life easier for both our team and theirs. So we built one and included it in the final project, giving them a tool they could keep using long after the fundraise.
Final touches
It took 8 iterations to reach the final version, each one refining details in the copy, the design, or both. When a founding team aims this high, no detail is too small. We understand that, which is why brands trust us in their high-stakes moments. And soon enough, the results followed.
Results
The goal was to raise €100M by the end of Q3 2025. But in the last week of July, we got the call: Visionaries Tomorrow had already secured the full amount.
In their words

Founding Partner
Visionaries Tomorrow
"When we set out to raise our next fund, 356labs helped us sharpen the story behind our presentation.
They guided us through refining our narrative and then rebuilt the deck around it. We reached our €100M goal in July, well ahead of our end-of-Q3 target.
Iva and her team worked with us as if they were part of our own."
