Hi everyone! We're excited to show you NUMI. We saw firsthand while we were going through Y Combinator how much every startup struggled to find good designers. The challenge was twofold. On the "depth" side, startups need more than just a pixel pusher, but a designer who can build domain expertise alongside the founding team. On the "breadth" side, startups need *many* kinds of design - from product design, to marketing collateral, to Webflow / Framer development, to animation. Typically these are each their own process of sourcing, vetting, and haggling.
We designed NUMI to consolidate all of a startup's design needs under a single subscription. Not only do you get a great primary designer, but you also get the "long tail" of your design needs covered. This means you can get your design work you need done as soon as it pops up, rather after a long freelancer sourcing slog.
Over the past year we've refined the process of matching designers with startups.
We've gotten to ship designs for some amazing companies, including Cal.com, Orange DAO, and countless YC startups.
We're excited to debut to the Product Hunt community!
@agreeahmed and I love what we do as designer founders and built NUMI to help startups leverage design for growth. We address your design challenges and then make recommendations (we may even tell you to open Figma yourself before hiring anyone!). We’re a design-as-a-service subscription platform that allows you to access a vetted guild of designers you can Slack/Zoom directly.
We believe happiness is contagious. By prioritizing the satisfaction of our designers, we create a ripple effect, leading to delighted customers and, in turn, their users. Product design, no-code sites like Webflow or Framer, marketing/sales motion collateral; happy to help with anything you’re trying to ship! We’re here as a community resource first, so please don’t hesitate to reach out for anything design-related!
We’re grateful to those who took a chance on us and hope we can make our future clients just as happy.
Numi is a game-changer! 🚀 Finding top-notch designers for our startup has never been this easy. The all-in-one subscription model is a lifesaver, streamlining our design needs effortlessly. Kudos to the Numi team for revolutionizing the way we connect with high-caliber designers! 👏 #DesignDreamTeam #NumiMagic
Congratulations on your launch on Product Hunt! NUMI is exactly what startups need when looking for talented and vetted designers ❤️ Your subscription model, covering all design needs, sounds like a real game-changer 💥
I believe many companies will appreciate the opportunity to work with professional designers under one umbrella. Wishing you a successful launch and lots of positive feedback from satisfied clients 🚀
@maria_kovalevich Thank you! We really tried to tailor it to a fast-paced startup environment. Our designers are entrepreneurial, vetted, and hungry to work with the best teams. Appreciate the kind words and wishes.
I've worked with NUMI in the past and had the BEST experience.
Harrison and Agree are incredible founders and have been an immense help to building our business. I can confidently say we wouldn't be where we are without their support.
@samraaj_bath1 thank you so, so much for the kind words. It's been beyond inspiring to watch Ion get to where it has so far.
Right back at you guys: NUMI's product wouldn't be where it is today without Ion!
Congrats on the launch, guys! Really keen to see how your journey unfolds. Hit me up with a DM once in a while - we might find some cool stuff we're both into!
@btngstudio thank you and congratulations + good luck to you too! and a huge congratulations to you too! Love to bump into fellow startup design peeps in the wild
Guys, congratulations on the launch! Really cool. I watched the video - you did a great job, well-shot.
Did I understand correctly that your business model involves curating and tailoring designers for startups? Or something else?
@kostyadoronin thank you :) That's exactly right! We focus on understanding each startup's unique design needs, preferences, and working style to match them with the most suitable designer from our pool of vetted professionals. This approach is designed to ensure that startups receive high-quality, customized design support that aligns seamlessly with their vision and goals. You will soon be able to manage all your tasks from a portal which will make the design process that much easier.
