Designers at Dusk: Austin Happy Hour

​On the evening of Saturday, March 8th, Designer Fund, Foundation Capital, and Framer are bringing together the design community. Whether you're in town for the conference or call Austin home, this is a chance to connect with some of the best design leaders and design-minded founders. No panel or pitches—just thoughtful conversations over drinks and light bites.

​Designer Fund

​Designer Fund invests early in companies that use design to improve health, sustainability, and prosperity for all people. We provide founders with expertise on hiring and managing design teams, product and brand advice, and designer professional development with our community of design leaders. We’ve backed exceptional companies like Stripe, Gusto, Notion, Framer, Commure, and Netlify.

​Foundation Capital

​Foundation Capital is a venture firm that has pioneered early-stage investing for 30 years. We are the first check (and often, lead investor) for technical founders, helping take them from $0 to $1M in revenue. Each of our investments is made with deep conviction in the market, the technology, and the problem our founders are trying to solve—so we can take a hands-on approach to solving it together.
