Through investing and working with founders at the earliest stages, she developed a strong conviction that companies are built in the image of their founders. She started 43 to help founders avoid the team pitfalls that slow you down on the path to product market fit.
Before 43, she scaled the people team at Opendoor from 30 to 550, and started The People Design House, working directly with founders at Notion, Newfront, Pave, Lattice, Uniswap, TRM Labs, and Ethos (ranging in maturity from pre-product through acquisition) on the smallest to the gnarliest people problems out there.
Dustin has been investing at the earliest stage since 2010, guided by a simple belief: until a startup finds product/market fit, nothing else matters. He founded 43 to improve founders' odds of getting there with advice grounded in experience, tools that save time, and a community of talented peers.
As an angel, he wrote early checks into Baseten, Roofr, and Adapt Insurance. Previously, as a Partner at Accomplice, he led investments in Patreon, PillPack, and Datacamp. In 2014 he co-founded Maiden Lane, whose portfolio includes Notion, Klaviyo, Vercel, Framer, and Side.
