How Carbon Gate Simplifies Complex Ideas and Wins Investor Confidence with Beautiful.ai

Climate tech company, Carbon Gate, refined their presentation design process with Beautiful.ai to make a bigger impact with investors.
Carbon Gate is a fast-growing climate tech company addressing the complexities of the green transition, and the ability to clearly communicate their mission is crucial to their success. But before discovering Beautiful.ai, their presentation process was far from perfect.
“We used a mix of PowerPoint, Canva, and other tools,” said Carbon Gate co-founder Okan Dursun. “But we often struggled to translate what we were thinking into visuals. There was no real bridge between what we had in mind and what we wanted to say.”
The team found themselves relying on shapes, arrows, and design guesswork—an inefficient process that created more confusion than clarity. That’s when Okan began searching for a more intelligent solution, one that could help them communicate more effectively with investors and clients alike.
After trying out several AI presentation tools—including Gamma—Okan found that Beautiful.ai stood out for its usability and intuitive smart templates.
“The first thing that caught my attention was the smart templates,” he explained. “They guided me through the structure of a strong presentation and made it easy to visualize my ideas. Plus, the sample decks—like Q3 updates or investor decks—showed us what a great presentation could look like.”
Within weeks of experimenting, Okan knew Beautiful.ai was the right fit. Nearly a year later, Carbon Gate continues to use the platform to create everything from sales decks and strategy presentations to internal quarterly updates.
Keeping the brand at the forefront of design
One of their biggest pain points was maintaining brand consistency across every presentation, and Beautiful.ai lends a quick solution with custom themes. “We loved that we could generate custom themes based on our brand colors and logo,” Okan said. “Sometimes it’s hard to get color combinations right, but the platform makes it really easy to stay on-brand.”
This has had a noticeable effect on presentation quality across the team. "Even without formal training, team members can create decks that look polished and professional," he added. The result? Improved brand consistency and visual quality with minimal effort.
“It’s not about being old-fashioned. It’s just behavioral. People think their process works until they try something better. I say: give Beautiful.ai a shot—it’ll change your mind.”
Leveraging Beautiful.ai to craft better stories for investors
For Okan and his team, Beautiful.ai isn’t just about pretty slides—it’s about telling better stories, faster. “The tool helps me work smarter, not harder,” he said. “Instead of spending hours adjusting layouts, we can focus on refining our message.”
They’re producing more presentations—both internal and external—and feeling more confident in the process.
What’s more, Beautiful.ai has helped Carbon Gate better engage investors in an industry where clarity is everything. “Green transition is a complicated topic. Our early decks left people confused. Now, investors say it’s much easier to understand what we do, why it matters, and how we solve the problem.”
Impact that speaks volumes
From internal meetings to a series of investor update decks—Beautiful.ai has unlocked a better way to communicate progress clearly and concisely, helping maintain strong investor relationships.
“People can immediately see that we’ve put effort into our decks,” Okan said. “It shows we respect their time and value their attention.”
The shift from traditional presentation software to Beautiful.ai has made an impact in more than just presentation design. It gave Carbon Gate the tools they needed to scale.
Reflecting on the shift, Okan leaves us with: “It’s not about being old-fashioned. It’s just behavioral. People think their process works until they try something better. I say: give Beautiful.ai a shot—it’ll change your mind.”
