Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about how we work with deep tech startups
Commplicated.Design is a European deep tech branding and design studio. We work with science and engineering-led companies to shape positioning, narrative, and visual identity, and to make complex ideas clearer through well-structured communication and design systems.
Since 2025, Commplicated.Design has been part of Commplicated, a London-based PR, communications, and strategy firm. We work closely with the Commplicated team to align brand, design, and communications when clients need a more joined-up approach.
By deep tech, we mean companies built on genuine scientific or engineering breakthroughs rather than surface-level software ideas. These are businesses grounded in fields like physics, materials science, advanced computing, or applied research, where progress depends on technical credibility, long development cycles, and defensible intellectual property.
Deep tech is not defined by whether something looks like an app or a platform, but by the depth of the underlying technology. It is often hard to build, hard to explain, and hard to replicate, which is exactly why clarity in positioning, design and communication matters.
We work with deep tech startups and scale-ups across areas like AI/ML, quantum computing, semiconductors, defence and security, life sciences, synthetic biology, and cleantech.
We tailor our work to your goals and usually combine services rather than delivering isolated one-offs. Typical scope includes brand strategy, brand identity, design systems, digital and UI design, pitch decks, product design, web design, and Webflow development.
We help teams explain what they do clearly, build trust with technical and non-technical audiences, and show up consistently across brand, website, and investor communications.
We specialise in deep tech, and we substantiate that focus with detailed case studies. Each one outlines the context, constraints, deliverables, and outcomes. Our team combines deep tech expertise with experience as former operators, angel investors, designers, developers, and specialists in communications and PR.
