For founders: Where does design fit into early stage companies?

Listen Later

Today's topic is on design's role in early stage companies. Victoria moderates and weighs in from a PM perspective and Isabelle shares her thoughts as a Designer. We'll focus on 3 main stages of a startup's life: fundraising, MVP, and scaling.

We cover:

  • The visual and non-visual aspects of design
  • How design and product (and engineering) have a lot of overlap in the early days
  • Bringing in a culture of experimentation and learning early
  • Tapping into emotional JTBD (jobs to be done) which might be a new definition for UX Design
  • What to think about as you are setting the foundation of your product and why you should have frank conversations about product development debt early and often 

    • Founder resources
