The Portfolio Design Partnership.
The offer
What the partnership includes
One package, four parts — built so the fund benefits alongside its portfolio companies, and simple enough to communicate to a founder in a single sentence.
“Your portfolio companies built MVPs fast — often with AI tools like Bolt, Lovable, or v0. Graduating from a generated interface to a product that supports the next raise is a design problem. It's the one I solve.”
01
Complimentary first audit
Every portfolio company you refer begins with a complimentary design audit — a one-hour working session with the founding team, followed by a one-page written assessment. The standard first stop for every introduction, at no cost and with no commitment.
Included for every referral
02
Monthly office hours — at your offices
A standing 60-minute design session each month, hosted on-site at the fund. Any portfolio founder can bring a screen, a flow, or a question and leave with concrete direction — an ongoing benefit credited to your platform team.
60 minutes · monthly · on-premises
03
Co-branded case study & social content
Every portfolio company that works with Meytal for three months receives a designed case study plus five social post designs at no cost — produced for both the startup's and the fund's social channels.
1 case study + 5 social designs
04
Portfolio volume rates
When the fund introduces three portfolio companies, all three receive a reduced hourly rate — a concrete, quotable benefit that grows with the portfolio.

Step 03
A proposal for the fund
You receive a concrete offer tailored to the fund — terms, rates, and what every referred startup gets.

Working together
We start — with a standing 15-minute weekly call to review progress and show the value across the portfolio.

For the startup
Step 01

Complimentary first review
A no-charge introduction: a complimentary design review and a session to get to know the team and the product.
Step 03
A tailor-made offer
The startup receives a custom proposal shaped to its product, stage, and runway.
Step 04
Co-branded content at 3 months

The pattern
The graduation moment
Day one
The MVP ships fast
AI tools put a working product in front of users within weeks. Demand is validated and the team moves quickly.
Months later
The interface becomes the ceiling
Generic screens, flat information architecture, and conversion plateaus surface — precisely when the next round depends on presenting as a category leader.
The graduation
Design becomes the lever
The product graduates from a generated interface to a distinctive, user-led system — built to withstand investor and customer scrutiny.
Few designers address this transition directly. My practice is built around it.
