Mondeo Studio: Design for Startups Who Actually Want to Stand Out

So here’s the deal. We’re not a giant agency with a bloated hierarchy, five layers of account managers, or a thing for vague jargon. We’re Mondeo Studio — a sharp, seasoned design team that knows what startups need before they need it.

May 6, 2025

Founded by Einat Grafov 13 years ago (before "design thinking" was a buzzword and when Figma was still a dream), Mondeo has grown into a powerhouse of 11 badass designers, each with their own specialty and very strong opinions about fonts.

We do the full design thing — brand, product, marketing, website, the deck you’re pitching at TechCrunch Disrupt — but we do it our way: smart, fast, collaborative, and actually aligned with where your company is headed.

What We Actually Do (Spoiler: Everything)

We’re not a "logo and bye" kind of studio. We partner with startups across cybersecurity, biotech, fintech, healthtech, defense (yes, drones too) — from day-zero branding to scale-up UX polish.

  • Just raised your seed? We’ll build you a brand and deck that doesn’t scream "template."
  • Getting serious traction? We'll design your Webflow site, your event booth, and everything in between.
  • Just got acquired? Congrats. We’ll help you look like you belonged at the top all along.

We’ve been in it for the long haul with companies like Opmed, Akeyless, Oncohost, Nimble, and Datafy — and we don’t flake when things get busy. In fact, most of our clients stick with us well past the honeymoon phase.

We Speak Fluent “Complicated Tech”

Let’s be honest — not every design team can keep up with startups building next-gen biotech platforms, quantum computers, or cybersecurity tools that even your IT guy doesn’t fully understand. But we can. In fact, we thrive on the complicated stuff.

At Mondeo Studio, we specialize in working with startups tackling the hard problems — the ones with breakthrough tech, deep R&D, and a lot of moving parts. We take that complexity and turn it into clear, compelling, and drop-dead gorgeous design.

Whether you're:

  • decoding genomes,
  • building quantum circuits,
  • securing critical infrastructure,
  • or optimizing surgical teams across hospitals…

We’ve been there. And we’ve helped those teams go from “what the hell do we even say about this?” to a brand, website, and product UX that actually make sense — and actually convert.

We’ve designed for everything from:

  • biotech and medtech platforms redefining diagnostics and drug development,
  • to cyber and defense startups protecting critical systems,
  • to quantum computing and AI-driven logistics,
  • to space labs, autonomous vehicles, and next-gen storage systems.

If your product is brilliant but hard to explain, you're exactly our kind of client. We’ll help you tell your story, look the part, and scale with a design foundation that’s as advanced as your tech.

Meet the People Behind the Pixels

No mystery project managers. No disappearing acts. You’ll have a dedicated designer who actually knows what’s going on. Want to speak directly to the person designing your site? You can. That’s how we like it.

Meet the core crew:

  • Einat – founder, design oracle, and the calmest creative force in any chaos
  • Ditsa – UX/UI queen, fast as hell, pixel-perfect under pressure
  • Iren – brand + marketing design ace, fast, sharp, and endlessly reliable
  • Alice (Olesia) – visual powerhouse with 10+ years of making things look really good
  • Nikol – UX/UI designer with a sharp eye for detail, consistently leading projects to success
  • Tom – senior UX/UI designer with deep experience and a calm, thorough approach under pressure
  • Gisselle – senior UX/UI designer who makes sense of complexity and turns briefs into clear, creative concepts
  • Roi – UX/UI designer with refined UI skills and a seamless touch that keeps brands consistent
  • Anastassia – UX/UI designer and project lead, balancing multiple tracks without missing a beat
  • Enni – brand + marketing designer with a distinctive artistic touch and a strong sense of visual identity
  • Tigran – motion designer who brings static designs to life with animation and sound that resonate

Our Process (A.K.A. How We Stay Sane)

We run things on Asana, track time on Harvest, chat on Slack, and share in Figma. Prefer Trello? Monday? Email with emojis? We’ll adapt. What matters is clarity, speed, and delivering stuff that slaps.

We’ll give you time estimates, ask the right questions, and keep the feedback loop tight. Most projects fly through in days, not weeks.

  • Banners/slides? 24 hours, usually.
  • Full website page? 2–3 days.
  • A full sexy investor deck? 4–5 days, and you’ll want to frame it.

How We Charge (Spoiler: Not a Fortune)

We're not the cheapest, but we’re not the overpriced agency that spends 10 hours choosing between two shades of blue either. We charge 300 NIS/hour (+ VAT), and we’re very transparent about it.

We’ll give you estimates, send monthly reports, and won’t nickel-and-dime you when you just need “one more version” before your demo day.

TL;DR

If you're a startup that values design (and not just for looking pretty, but for getting sh*t done), we’re your people. We’ll make you look smart, polished, and a little bit cooler than your competition — from first pitch to IPO.
