About. The Designer Fund. Highlights Is being a designer co-founder of a tech company the biggest opportunity in the design field today? By Enrique Allen The aha For the last few years I’ve experimented a great deal with how to provide scalable design resources to startups in early stage venture capital funds. I’ve spent the majority of my time creating accelerator environments for startups to practice design behaviors and training non-designers to apply design thinking methods like they were exercise workouts. However, one day while meditating I realized it’s unlikely for startups to continue practicing great design if they don’t have a designer founder to consistently model design behaviors and lead a culture of design. This effect is often common when outsourcing design: a consultant comes in and helps improve the design, but when the consultant leaves, the transformation within the company is short lived. This was an ‘aha’ moment for me because it challenged the long term effectiveness of my work.
