Announcing “Design in Residence”

Today we’re very excited to announce a new partnership with Jet Cooper, Canada’s leading user experience agency.

As part of their Design in Residence (“DiR”) program, Jet Cooper will support the next cohort as they look to find product-market fit, by applying lean principles and an agile approach to design.

Future FounderFuel teams will be able to list design as a key differentiator in an increasingly competitive space, where every user, dollar and pageview counts. The focus will be on measuring success through product desirability and user adoption, rather than simply getting to market with a working product.

The package each DiR startup will receive includes:

- On-Site Presentations
To be delivered as part of our calendar of activities on best practices, case studies, and user experience design processes.

- UX Workshops
One-on-one sessions with each startup to help guide conceptualization, architecture, user goals and feedback, and inform the product roadmap.

- Office Hours
Available on an ongoing and scheduled basis both in-person and on-call. This time will be used for follow-up, problem-solving, and ideation.

Jet Cooper will ultimately be delivering on an area of essential knowledge that startups often have less exposure to in their founding teams, and will also be offering additional support as needed by our teams.
