After 5 Years With Facebook, Ben Blumenfeld Leaves To Beautify The Future At Designer Fund

A designer's eye can change the world, but some don't know how?to build a company. So today, veteran Facebook designer Ben Blumenfeld?revealed to me that he's moving on to co-direct Designer Fund, a community of angels and mentors who support designer-led startups with a positive influence. Blumenfeld's departure follows a string of other high-level post-IPO exits from Facebook, as employees seek to apply what they've learned to projects where they have more control. Blumenfeld becomes the new co-director of Designer Fund, whose sponsors include Andreessen Horowitz and 500 Startups. In a special interview he tells me how he'll be helping designers raise money, find co-founders, learn?entrepreneurship, and turn their sketches into social good.
