Luke Bugbee

I'm the Head of Design at 8VC, an Austin-based venture capital firm with over $6b under management.

I was the first designer at Saronic (~$6.5bn valuation), Resilience (~$9bn valuation), Epirus (~$1bn valuation), and Standard Metrics (~$100m valuation). I was also the first designer at Gallatin (~$50m valuation), CX2 (~$150m valuation) and dozens of other exciting companies founded through 8VC's Build program. I have a passion for early-stage startups and helping founders think through their early products and brands.

My work has appeared in WIRED, Forbes, Business Insider, TechCrunch, the Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. Sometimes I make art out of paper, which you can see here.
