Angel Investing for Designers
Join us for an intimate evening focused on the intersection of design and angel investing. We’re bringing together a small group of designers who are either curious about investing or already active in the space.
The evening will start with a fireside chat featuring designers-turned-investors sharing how they found deal flow, approached their first investments, and lessons learned along the way. We’ll then transition into a dinner roundtable with curated conversation prompts to encourage open discussion and connection.
Featured designers-turned-investors include:
David Hoang, VP of Design, AI at Atlassian
John Pham, Head of Design at SF Compute
Effy Zhang, CEO / Founder of baserun (acq.)
Kathryn Gonzalez, Senior Engineering Manager, UI Foundation at Airbnb
Adrián Mato, Design Director at GitHub Copilot
Whether you're just beginning to explore investing or looking to deepen your network, this event is designed to share real insights and build community among designers in the investing world.
