NeoVault had just closed a Series A round of $2.4M to build a next-generation digital payments platform for freelancers and small businesses. The product was in beta with strong early traction — 4,000+ waitlist signups and a 92% satisfaction score from beta testers.
But their brand was an afterthought. The logo was made on Canva. The website was a generic template. And their pitch deck — the one that actually closed the round — was held together by their CEO's charisma, not their visual identity. Their lead investor told them bluntly: "You need to look like a company I'd trust with my money."
We treated this as a "zero-to-brand" sprint. In 5 weeks, we delivered a complete brand identity, a redesigned product interface, and a high-conversion marketing website — all designed to make NeoVault look like the kind of company that handles your money with institutional-grade seriousness.
New wordmark with a custom "vault" icon. Deep purple and electric blue palette that signals both innovation and trust. Complete brand guidelines covering typography, iconography, photography style, and tone of voice.
Redesigned the core dashboard, transaction flow, and onboarding screens. Dark-mode-first interface with glassmorphism accents. Built a 150+ component design system in Figma for their engineering team to implement.
A bold, conversion-focused website built to turn waitlist curiosity into signups. Animated product demos, trust signals (security badges, compliance certifications), and a waitlist-to-signup conversion funnel.
NeoVault launched their new brand at Demo Day to a standing ovation. The website went live the same week and tripled their waitlist within 30 days — from 4,000 to over 12,000 signups. More importantly, the rebrand opened doors that were previously closed. Two major banking partners — who had initially passed on a partnership — came back to the table after seeing the new brand. Both signed within 8 weeks. Their CEO now introduces the company as "the brand that looks like it raised $20M" — on a $2.4M round.
