Designer Fund

Designer Fund invests in early-stage tech companies using design to improve health, sustainability, and prosperity for all. We focus on companies at Pre-seed through Series A stages, where exceptional design can create meaningful competitive advantages. We approach our relationship with founders and companies as long-term partnerships, not deals. When we invest in you, we become an extension of your design team and apply the best practices we’ve learned over the past decade, investing in multi-billion dollar companies like Stripe, Gusto, Notion, Framer, Commure, and Netlify. Instead of cookie-cutter advice, we provide feedback based on the unique context of your product, team, and company, including: ▪ Product testing and reviews of end-to-end flows. ▪ Guidance on key initiatives like establishing a design system and rebranding. ▪ How to leverage design strategically across your company from product to sales, recruiting, and culture. We aim to be one of the most valuable investors on your cap table and earn the right to continue investing in your company from the Pre-seed stage through Series B. We support your fundraising process by improving your story and developing an outreach plan.
