Why hire designers in impact VC funds

Strategy design

Master Thesis project

2024

The research focused on exploring the possible contributions that designers can bring to the sector by being directly involved in the core activities of the funds. Through literature review, context analysis, interviews and co-design sessions with experts, I developed 6 (+2) contributions that design can bring to Impact VC funds, which I present in the book “Why hire designers in Impact VC funds?”.
The project has a dual purpose: to help organisations envision the benefits that designers can bring to their activities, and to show designers their potential role in impact investing.
