ABOUT ANGEL STEGER

What got me into tech was a simple question,\"How would you like to work on a product that has 100M users?\" As an architect, I immediately thought,\"I\'ll never make a building like that.\"What has kept me in tech has been seeing the impact of that work: for the people who use our products, for the way that transforms into business success, and for how we\'ve learned what to do (or not do) in order to get there. It has been humbling and inspiring. Tech doesn’t just change ability the way a hammer changes the capacity of a human arm. It transforms people and society by fundamentally altering our mindset around what is possible. It changes our aspirations. This ability to unlock human capability and behavior is incredibly powerful in organizations and products. When you apply this to problems that affect everyday people, the scope of impact is huge. Take the areas of relationship management, finance, wellness, and analytics. They cross boundaries, are deeply entangled in human behavior and motivation, and are foundational to functioning society. Since 2006, I’ve been a hybrid design and product leader focused on strategic thinking and execution. I’ve worked at seed round through IPO, from small to large companies, serving from hundreds to billions of people who used our products.To learn more about my approach and philosophy, start with the First Round Capital piece,\"Defining Growth Design\"(ranked #18 of \"The 30 Best Pieces of Advice for Entrepreneurs in 2019\"), or check out past talks/articles in the projects/publications section.
