Founder of Slidesvamp | Pitch Deck Strategist & Startup Growth Advisor
James is an entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building bootstrapped internet companies across multiple industries. Throughout his journey, he has launched and grown ventures without outside funding, giving him a deep understanding of resourcefulness, resilience, and the realities of early-stage business growth.
After seeing many great ideas struggle to secure capital due to weak investor presentations, James founded Slidesvamp — an agency dedicated to helping founders raise funding by creating pitch decks that are both visually engaging and strategically persuasive. Having reviewed thousands of successful decks and learned directly from industry experts, he applies a proven, data-informed approach to help startups clearly communicate their vision, traction, and potential.
James’s work blends storytelling, market insight, and impactful design, ensuring that each deck speaks the language of investors while staying true to the founder’s vision. His clients span sectors including technology, SaaS, consumer products, and services — all united by the need for a clear, compelling case that gets investors to say “yes.”
Beyond his professional work, James enjoys solving Rubik’s cubes, exploring new business ideas, and creating art. These hobbies reflect the same blend of problem-solving, creativity, and strategic thinking that he brings to his work with founders worldwide.
