Design the Future

代表性不足的创始人正在努力获得投资。我们希望改变这种状况，并通过设计来支持他们的发展。只有2%的公司是女性创立的，只有10%的风险投资支持的初创公司是女性创始人。黑人创始人的情况同样令人担忧，揭示了根深蒂固的不平等。只有3%的风险资本流向黑人企业家。这些数字要求采取行动，并突出了变革的迫切需要。设计在帮助创始人变得更可投资方面起着至关重要的作用，但也存在多样性问题。我们有巨大的潜力，通过促进多样性，公平性和包容性来彻底改变创业和设计行业。但值得信赖的人才访问可能是一个问题，管理机构的可能过于昂贵。这就是我们的解决方案。Design the Future是一个平台，将代表性不足的创始人（特别是女性，黑人，少数民族和其他边缘化群体）与急需的资本以及最优秀，最有才华和多样化的设计人才联系起来。我们的目标是建立一个平台，陪伴创始人从筹集资金到创造更好、更创新、以用户为中心的产品。由此产生的平台可以帮助代表性不足的创始人获得资本并增加他们成功的机会-这表明我们的平台可以成为世界上少数民族创始人最值得信赖的来源。该平台将向投资者展示顶尖的多元化创始人，并使团队中缺乏设计师的创始人能够接触到顶级设计人才：来自品牌，UX/UI，产品设计，动画设计和摄影等领域，或为这些人发布招聘广告。我们的合作伙伴网络可以扩展到世界各地的主要城市，旨在多样化和精心策划-旨在帮助创始人完成他们的项目，以合理的价格和/或股权提供服务。作为一个由Design Future管理的邀请式策划网络，我们的定制方法与Upwork等其他平台相比具有创新性。该平台旨在向投资者展示顶级多元化创始人-这在市场上是独一无二的。此外，新方法开辟了一系列额外的收入来源-进一步提高成功的潜力。它使团队中缺乏设计师的创始人能够接触到各个领域的高素质设计人才，包括品牌、用户体验/用户界面、产品设计、运动设计和摄影。此外，创始人可以发布招聘广告，吸引具有特定设计技能的个人。我们的设计和投资合作伙伴网络可以扩展到全球主要城市。作为一个由Design Future管理的仅限邀请的策划网络，我们的方法在市场上脱颖而出，因为与Upwork等平台相比，它具有创新性。

Underrepresented founders are struggling to get investment. We'd like to change that and also support their growth through design. Only 2% reached female-founded companies, with a mere 10% of venture-backed startups having women as founders. The situation for Black founders is equally concerning, revealing deep-rooted inequalities. Just 3% of venture capital flows to Black entrepreneurs. These figures demand action and highlight a vital need for change. Design plays a crucial role in helping founders become more investable, but also has diversity issues. We have enormous potential to revolutionise both the startup and design industry by promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. But trusted access to talent can be an issue and managed agency's can be too expensive. That's where our solution comes in. Design the Future is a platform that connects underrepresented founders - particularly among women, Black individuals, Ethnic minorities and other marginalised groups - with access to much needed capital and with the best and most talented and diverse design talent. Our goal is to establish a platform that accompanies the founders from raising money to creating better, more innovative and user-centered products that are inclusive. The resulting platform can help under-represented founders access capital and increase their chances of success - which indicates that our platform could be the leading most trusted source of minority founders in the world. The platform will showcase top diverse founders to investors and enable founders, who are lacking designers on their team, to access top design talent: from areas such as: branding, UX/UI, product design, motion design and photography or place job ads for such individuals.
