Questions, answered
The things founders ask before they start. Anything else: hi@baked.design.
What does Baked Design Studio do?
Brand, product design (web and mobile), websites, full-stack web apps, launch videos and pitch decks.
The 2026 deck has the full picture.
How much does Baked Design Studio cost?
Two flat monthly plans, in USD. Basic is $8,999 and Pro is $12,000.
YC founders get 10% off, so $8,099 or $10,800. Refer another founder and you both get another 10% off.
Do YC companies get a discount?
Any YC company gets 10% off every month, any batch.
Referrals stack too: each founder you send takes another 10% off for both of you.
How fast is the work?
Most requests are ready to review within a day. Basic gets 2 to 3 updates a week, Pro gets 3 to 4.
Inkbox (YC S26) went from no brand to launch in 12 days: branding, content, website design and build, web app design and front-end code.
How does it work day to day?
You get a private Slack channel. Drop a request and work is ready to review within a day. One request at a time on Basic, more in parallel on Pro.
Do I have to be on calls?
Book a 30-min intro call any time. After that, work runs async in a private Slack channel, so there are no standing meetings.
Is there a contract?
No contracts. Pause or cancel any month.
Do you build, or only design?
We design and build: websites and full-stack web apps, in Framer or code. Full-stack dev is part of Pro.
Do you make launch videos?
We make launch videos: story-driven films for launches, built from your brand, product and founder story.
