Ben BlumenroseCo-founder and Managing Partner at Designer Fund

“Welcome to the world @interfere_ ! A product for engineers, designers, and PMs who want a product “that sees users struggle, diagnoses the root cause, and ships its own fix.” @lukeshiels is that rare founder that blends design and technical excellence and we can’t wait for folks to get their hands on it...”

Designer FundDesign-led venture fund backing pre-seed to Series A founders improving health, sustainability and prosperity.

“Shipping code continues to get faster, but production debugging often takes hours of digging through logs, traces, and replays. @interfere_ helps teams understand what’s going wrong in their software, who it affects, and how to fix it. We’re excited to back @lukeshiels and the Interfere team in their seed round, led by @HummingbirdVC. Luke built Interfere because he wanted to spend more time building products and less time keeping them running. He took time on the product’s foundations despite advice to launch quickly. His approach to engineering: “Remove, simplify, improve, in that order.” In our latest Designer Founders conversation, Luke shares the decisions behind Interfere, why he hires people who care about what they put their name to, and why every new hire gets a physical letter from him:”

“Luke is a true maverick - fun fact he was a pilot before becoming one of the best design engineers in the world. Proud to back @interfere_ on their mission to build software that never breaks.”

“We are going to ship 1000x more software in the coming years and there is no way humans will be able to maintain and upgrade it effectively. Interfere is the answer.”
