Jackie Berardo invests or supports investments through Designer Fund's published strategy: Invest from pre-seed through Series A in mission-driven technology companies where exceptional design can create a durable advantage in health, sustainability or prosperity.
Show the painful user experience, how design creates a 10x product, mission and market scale, early validation, and the product, brand or hiring help needed.
Mission-driven founders who value design, can create a product ten times better than alternatives and are addressing a multibillion-dollar market with poor user experiences.
The firm requires early-stage technology, meaningful design leverage and a mission tied to health, climate or prosperity; weak design commitment is a poor fit.
