Startups have realized that design is a key differentiator for their products and a source of competitive advantage.
The titans like Atlassian, Facebook, Google, and Amazon, prioritize design. So they hire worldclass designers and even acquire design agencies.
Those aren't luxuries most early stage startups can afford. So how should an early-stage entrepreneur think about design during the early days?
Where should it be on the priority list? What design principles, tips and even hacks can help entrepreneurs produce excellent and even sustainable early versions of brand, product, experience and marketing?
We’re excited to dive into this with Brendan Mahony, Co-founder & CEO of Contrast, a design tool that connects your code to your designs, making your handoff process easier. Contrast is a Y Combinator S18 alumni.
Join us as we dive into:
- Important design principles
- Form vs. function when it comes to designing
- How to create a design strategy
- Useful tools and resources
- Ways to ensure a good design to development handoff
About the speakers:
Brendan Mahony is the co-founder and CEO of Contrast. The idea for the business came while working on a previous tech-startup. Brendan, a designer, noticed how the disconnect between his designs and the codebase was causing tons of wasted time and frustration. From there, the idea for Contrast was born - a tool that solves the handoff process by connecting your code to the designs. Brendan has raised $500K in seed funding from Y Combinator and other prominent angels.

In the new world of virtual everything — communication, connection, entertainment — we find ourselves searching for the best ways to meet our social needs, from working with colleagues to just enjoying a beer with friends.
Solving the problem of isolation has opened up new opportunities for tech brands and founders, and we’ve seen a series of innovations in the past three months which change the way we go about our lives. These new platforms help us remotely continue our routines, like caring for the elderly or attending a comedy show. But they also usher in a new set of concerns: how do we stay in touch with our mental health and decompress with all this screen time?
RENDER: Remote World examined these emerging technologies, the innovations we see on the horizon, and suggested how we can cope and thrive within our newly digitized lives.
Missed out on RENDER: Remote World? It's not too late to tune in.

RENDER is Betaworks Studios premier conference series. Every other month, we invite leaders and experts to help us dive deep into emerging industries and frontier technologies.
In today’s information ecosystem, we are overwhelmed with the growing inability to know who to trust, what to believe, how to verify credible sources, and how to engage in reasonable discourse. We are fragmenting our experiences and relationships as data-driven businesses are tracking us, segmenting us, and curating our online experiences to perfect an ad-driven personalization process. These technologies which strive to connect us have also been weaponized to target, fragment, tribalize and disenfranchise citizens. And now we struggle as a society to come to a shared consensus on what is true and what is not.
Join us for our latest (virtual) RENDER sessions in which we’ll discuss how we got into this technological and social quagmire, what the big tech platforms, the government, and start-ups can do about it, see demos from some start-ups tackling the disinformation problem, and discuss how to invest in this category.

Crypto is here to stay. It walked the Silk Road, catapulted Bitcoin into popular culture, and cemented itself in mainstream financial conversations. For this edition of RENDER, Betaworks Studio’s frontier tech conference series, we’ll shine light on two quickly emerging areas in the crypto space: non-fungible tokens and decentralized finance.
The first half of the day will focus on Non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs are a type of cryptographic token which represents something unique. Non-fungible tokens can be used to create verifiable digital scarcity. As one of our curators Jake Brukhman, Founder and CEO of Coinfund, puts it “NFTs are not just cat pictures that people trade on blockchains. Today digital art, collectibles, and in-game assets are the most visible use cases for these nifty non-fungibles.”
We’ll finish the day focusing on the broader landscape of DeFi. NFTs are just one element in decentralized finance (DeFi), an umbrella term for a variety of financial applications in cryptocurrency or blockchain geared toward disrupting financial intermediaries. “The core innovation of decentralized finance is that the “trust layer” is now the software and code itself. Without the time and cost associated with a high level of intermediation, the promise of DeFi is wide.” writes Sean Lippel, Principal at FinTech Collective and fellow curator of RENDER: NFTs+DeFi, “broader access to financial products, programmable money, real-time risk transfer, and auditability of financial contracts. Moreover, anyone with a computer or mobile phone with an Internet connection can gain access to more open and transparent financial services”
Join us as we explore the past, present and future of NFTs and DeFi through a day of conversations, demonstrations and explanations. From NFTs gaining prominence and earning millions in revenue as in-game objects and digital collectibles to DeFi’s ability to bring banking-style services to those who lack access to financial systems, we’ll examine the impact of these burgeoning technologies on a variety of industries and sectors throughout RENDER: NFTs & DeFi.
