How designers can be successful startup founders - Ben Blumenrose (Dive Club S7 | E9)
Ben Blumenrose (x.com/benblumenrose) was one of the earliest designers at Facebook and has spent the last 12 years as a co-founder and Managing Partner of Designer Fund (www.designerfund.com/). That’s allowed him to invest in many of the design founders that you’ve heard from on this shown (like Jorn from Framer (www.dive.club/deep-dives/jorn-van-dijk) or Colin from Visual Electric (www.dive.club/deep-dives/colin-dunn)).
So the goal of this conversation is to tap into Ben’s perspective as a designer turned investor. This episode creates a blueprint for people interested in designing for startups or maybe even building a company of your own.
Some highlights:
- The story of investing in Framer
- How second-time founders think differently
- Understanding your gaps as a design founder
- What it looks like to truly act as an owner at a startup
- What Ben looks for when investing in design founders
- What types of market opportunities Ben is most excited about
- How Ben transformed customer support in his first month at FB
- The things you should be learning on the job before launching a startup
- + a *lot* more

Love these. Thank you so much for making them. Love your questions. Very inspiring
so glad you're enjoying them 🫶
This is such an underrated series of interview in my opinion. I never heard about Ben. Until today. He is such an inspiring human being. Thanks for bringing him in the podcast.
glad you enjoyed hearing from him as much as I did!
You know it's gotta be a goat designer behind a great product, and I just realized it
I agree science fiction brings a lot of inspiration. They are aspirational concepts from a creative non-technical of how things are supposed to work if technology wasn’t a constraint.
This is such a goated episode!
right?! Henry is amazing
the best channel to get inspiration for designers . this is what designers need to learn.. not just tools but how to actually think like a designer to solve real problems
appreciate you saying that 🫶
The TH-cam algorithm blessed me to find this channel as a UX design major. These talks have all been treats for me. Looking forward to more and will ask questions when I get time.
glad you found it 🤗
Marking my attendance here! Wow I can't believe I used to steal design from Airbnb even remaking it. Can't wait what he has to share.
there are some interesting alternarives to Origami such as Play for iOS only prototyping, it is a good extension for Xcode...
Love this Ryan! We get a feeling that this is the only time a large tech enterprise allowed someone to redesign the entire experience. Thank you for brining this episode to light.
"At the end of the day, you are just trying to inspire people with some kind of artifact" Great point on prototypes going beyond the bounds of Figma!
what is his dribbble please
gotchu - dribbble.com/UltraLinx
Great to see two content creators/influencers I follow in another nice video 😊👍
A British guest!
had a few of them! Maggie Appleton and Luis Ouriach come to mind :)
Played it once Played it twice Played it thrice You don’t want to miss these nuggets!!!!!
🙌
He is the inspiration for me to start with code again back when i saw him in the Garry tan’s channel. Looking forward for more stuff from him soon.
That video is SO GOOD
this talk made me question about one of my design values: always aiming for consistency...and we all know for sure that consistency is important but what about...personality? Like individual personality...were humans after all, we want to get our fingerprints in what we make, we are humans designing for other humans. Definitely this approach will made me reformulate my approach to design.
As a fellow Pakistani, I love it!
Really great video
glad you liked it!
This was an awesome episode . loved his approach of thinking towards design
same there were so many nuggets of wisdom in this one
Amazing work, love this team!
I don't understand why they haven't made an intuitive CMS for our clients yet.
Before hitting recording Jurre said it's on the roadmap for this year 🤫
@@joindiveclub I said lots of cms improvements, haha
lowkey the GK sneak flex in background is so freaking coool
omg idk how I didn't even notice it 😆
👍
I relate a lot to working on pre-PMF products. I would've been curious to hear more about his learnings from that phase of his career! They say that success is when skill and preparation meet opportunity; we switched to Figma at our previous company a few weeks after the Covid lockdowns and Sketch never caught up. Zoom also greatly benefited usage-wise but couldn't completely capitalize on the moment. I often wonder how much of success relies on recognizing trends well in advance vs. just being at the right place at the right time. In any case, gave VE a quick spin and it feels *much* more natural than MJ. Excited to see how it evolves!
I prefer this simpler page way more than the previous. Feels stronger. Also the layer masking is very impressive!
ya gotta start using that way more
Turn off the preview in obs and the recorded videos will be smooth. Framer 🔥🔥🔥
cool, ill have to check out framer again
oh ya it's the way
so cool to see this and Jurre's excitement is gold! hahah
ya so genuine 😅
I think the last website was much better, I’m a little disappointed
Incredibly inspiring. Loved the comparison with A24. I think it's exactly right, it feels a lot like that even from outside.
Couldn't agree more!
Framer website is designed by Framer 🩵
how was the 3d done?
I'd imagine in a separate tool like Blender or Spline
@@joindiveclub C4D
In light of their pivot from a prototyping tool to a website builder, for us Figma-locked product designers in the crowd, are there any notable features that should make us consider giving Framer a try?
Framer is a complement to Figma for most use cases. You can just design something in Figma, run the Figma to Framer plugin, and then paste it in Framer. Only then when you hit publish it's actually a live website 👍
Framer is great, I use it everyday. I just wish they’d add values for REM already!
This!😊

Is there a new link? Looks down…
nope still up! What are you seeing on your end?
@@joindiveclub Figured it out - The link in the description had extra characters in it by accident, causing a 404 error.
Fresh from uni, I'm binge watching all of these episodes.
niiiiice 🙌 good luck catching up 😅
I've watched a few of your videos now, there seems to be a common thread of designers coding now.
I think the trend becomes quite clear when you specifically look at the companies that attract the top talent too
@@joindiveclub Obviously there is the thing of "designers should code", which is always a hotly debated topic. Personally i think there is a place for non-tech designers, but I always felt like the move to being hands on with the tech was inevitable. Really enjoyed your videos though, been great insights to companies I admire.
"hands on with the tech" I like that phrasing. Definitely have some more episodes queued up on that topic :)
That's what struck me as well. As a non-coding designer, I haven't come across roles that have asked of me to produce a single line of code so I'm quite curious about the types of companies that open up the spectrum of expectations in such ways! You can also find videos of individuals with no technical backgrounds producing functional apps/sites with Claude so perhaps Copilot-like tool mastery will become expected in the near future! Who truly knows~ 🤷🏿♂️ Great interview!! ❤ Arc
Thank you for covering a super interesting topic! More more more
on it 🫡
Found my new favourite design tool. It just feels so natural to use on mobile 👏
What a gem of a podcast. Packed with knowledge. Kudos
appreciate that 🫶
Damn I really hope this product takes off..

Love this product! I am still looking for a home when it comes to interaction design/prototyping tool. I hope this is it.
Downloaded Play! can’t wait to try it

What a legend. I was going through his work on read.cv and appreciating it while listening to this video in the background and then came to realise both were the same person.

Webflow drains your bank balance when you actually start getting traffic. LOL

Ridd and Gavin! Thanks for the epic pod. Time to go learn some swift.. or maybe even blender 👀
my thoughts exactly 😅
Only podcast I am watching these days. Love this channel Ridd!
