Two co-founders translating complex innovation into clear, credible design.
Akhila is the co-founder and lead strategist at What if Design. She helps climate tech companies turn complex science into brands and websites that close funding and partnerships. She has worked with teams backed by the US Department of Energy, ARPA-E, leading climate VCs across carbon capture, grid interconnection, and green hydrogen, contributing to over $105M raised. Founders trust her because she learns the science and market before designing, and translates what they build visually for effective communication.
Tejas is the co-founder and product UX lead at What if Design. He leads product and UX for software companies, designing for adoption, retention, and the metrics that drive growth. His work spans battery management systems, fleet platforms, and ESG tools, plus enterprise software for the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia. Founders trust him because he treats every screen as a business decision, not just a design problem.
Investors look for a clear explanation of the problem, the customer, and the commercial value of the technology. A strong brand also makes differentiation visible: why the solution is credible, what evidence supports it, and how it can scale. They should be able to quickly understand the market position, product maturity, traction, and the team’s point of view without decoding technical jargon.
