Built by a founder,
for founders.
Bernie Studio was started by a former YC founder who knows what it's like to build under pressure, ship fast, and compete for attention. We design for that reality.
The story
Jacob has been
in your shoes.
Jacob is a former YC founder. He's pitched on Demo Day, raised a round, and felt the pressure of needing to look credible before you have traction. He knows exactly what investors are looking for — and what makes them swipe left.
After going through YC, Jacob realized there was a massive gap in the market: early-stage startups needed the kind of design that actually moves investors and customers, but had no access to it. Big agencies were too slow, too expensive, and didn't understand the startup context. Freelancers were a lottery.
So he built Bernie Studio — a design studio run by founders, for founders. Every brand, landing page, and deck we touch is built with the same urgency and ambition we'd apply to our own company.

Funded startups move fast. We match your pace. From brief to deliverable in days, not weeks.
Results-Focused
Pretty isn't the goal. Converting visitors, impressing investors, and building brand equity is.
