What is design capital?

Design Capital is a new acceleration program granting brand & product design parnerships as an investment for early-stage startups.

Our program aims to guide you through the initial phase, helping you build something impressive enough to attract larger-scale investments.

We provide $100,000 in tailored services to each startup through a "post-money" Simple Agreement for Future Equity, spending 8 to 12 weeks collaboratively working on your brand and product.

Working with Zypsy has been a magical experience. I’m very passionate about our vision, and Zypsy exceeded even my own imagination for the evolution of our brand. Zypsy went above and beyond not only in visual design, but in the architecture of the complex information we’re aiming to convey. In addition, the execution and delivery timeline was flawless.
