The mission of Designer Fund is to invest in leaders and empower them with design to improve the world. We invest between $350K – $1M in early stage tech startups with founders who value design including Stripe, Gusto, Notion, Omada Health, Netlify, Framer, Commure and more. With every investment, our goal is to create exceptional products in huge markets that traditionally have poor user experiences. Our community includes top designers and founders from companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, Airbnb, Pinterest, Dropbox and more.
This is a paid 4-month fellowship ideally based in San Francisco. This role will allow you to have an immediate impact on Designer Fund. You'll collaborate regularly in-person with our General Partners to source investments, diligence companies, and improve investment operations giving you insight into the full end-to-end investment process. You’ll also rapidly expand your network among our actively managed community of hundreds of top designers, founders and investors. In addition, we’ll invest in your personal and career development to ensure we’re supporting your long-term career goals.
