Syndicate

Series A + ICO

Syndicate is a series-A crypto company that was founded to revolutionize venture capital—that is, how the future gets funded.

Since then, the company has pivoted to focus on delivering that same underlying tech in developer APIs that let anyone, including some of the internet's fastest-growing communities and culture-defining brands, build their community on crypto rails.

Role

Head of Design

I joined Syndicate as employee #1. Less than 6 months later, we closed >$28M from VCs like a16z and scaled the company to over 30 people around the world. As Head of Design, I’m responsible for the core pillars of product design, research, brand, content, design ops, and a pillar we like to call “economies”, so called because we don’t just design our product—we’re designing entirely new economies and a fledgling industry.

Syndicate / Capital

A new way for communities to invest effortlessly using crypto rails

As the saying goes, we shape our tools; thereafter, they shape us. Today, our tools make it hard to invest capital together, so only the privileged few can do it. What if there was a more free, fair, and open way to invest together on the internet?

Syndicate / Brand

A futuristic brand for a revolutionary crypto company

Crypto can be intimidating. We needed to design a brand that conveyed the excitement and promise of Syndicate's technology to the world.

Let's work together
