Designed Capital

Designed Capital is a U.S. venture capital firm founded by Andrew Swain and Jonathan Golden (the Jonathan Golden here is the former Product Director at Airbnb, who was Airbnb's first product manager and led the company's early product-and-growth work; subsequently angel investor and operator-investor). The firm focuses on marketplace start-ups, applying its founders' deep product-and-marketplace operational expertise from Airbnb and adjacent experiences. Designed Capital operates as a thematic-specialist marketplace-focused seed / early-stage investor writing modest initial check sizes.
