Irene Au is one of those rare people who helped shape modern product design from the inside, then took those lessons into venture.In this episode of The Design VC, Andy Budd sits down with Irene, who was Yahoo’s first interaction designer, went on to help scale design at Google, and later became a partner at Khosla Ventures.We talk about what it’s really like being “design #1”, how you build credibility inside engineering-heavy organisations, and what has to change as you scale from a handful of designers to hundreds.

Tracy Osborn (TinySeed): Why Most SaaS Companies Don’t Need VC, and What Works Instead
It might surprise some listeners to hear that, as a VC, I spend a lot of my time encouraging founders to think twice before taking traditional VC money.Not because VC is “bad”, but because it comes with a very specific deal. Most VC funds are built to chase unicorn outcomes, and only a small number of startups can realistically deliver that. Meanwhile, plenty of founders would be better served building something different: a durable, profitable SaaS business that can grow to 30, 50, even 100 people, and create a genuinely great outcome without ever needing a billion-dollar exit.Th...

Along the way he turned angel investing from a side hobby into a proper venture fund. And now he’s back building again, with Agree, taking on DocuSign by rethinking what the...

Jessica Hische (StudioWorks): Bootstrapping a Small Indie SaaS Product for Creatives
Most weeks, as a VC, I’m talking to founders who want to build huge, global, venture-scale companies. So this conversation with Jessica Hische was a breath of fresh air.Jessica is one of the most recognised names in modern graphic design, illustration, and lettering — known for work that ranges from book covers and rebrands through to designing the titles for some well-known Wes Anderson films. She’s also now the co-founder of StudioWorks: a beautifully designed tool for proposals, invoicing, and the unglamorous admin that quietly decides whether a creative business runs smoothly or feels like c...

He shares the behind-the-scenes reality that surprises most people: a tiny design team in a sea of engineers, a founder who wanted everything designed, and a culture where designers weren’t an afterthought, they were part of the release valve. Along the way, there’s a gr...

That small interaction became the seed of Intercom’s now-ubiquitous in-app messenger, and eventually a company that reshaped how startups communicate with customers.We talk about what it r...

#122 - Designens medelålderskris med Andy Budd
INTERVJU-AVSNITT! Det som har tagit designer hit, kommer inte att ta oss vidare i UX och design-mognad. Designers måste sluta sträva efter perfektion och acceptera att vi inte är(eller någonsin har varit) medelpunkten i processen. Istället bör vi fokusera på att bli mer pragmatiska och lära oss att "snacka business”. I detta avsnitt pratar vi om våra reflektioner kring Andy Budds väldigt träffande och tankeväckande tal på FBTB. Vi fick även äran att intervjua Andy under konferensen för lite fördjupande frågor, det är med i slutet av avsnittet!
