Form Capital
Form Capital is an early-stage fund from Bobby Goodlatte and Josh Williams that invests real design expertise alongside seed capital. The firm offers design sprints with each seed investment, covering branding, pitch decks, packaging, and product UX flows at zero cost to founders. Initial investments range from $200,000 to $300,000. Form is thesis-agnostic and aims to provide hands-on design support rather than only advice and intros.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Form Capital?
Co-founders Bobby Goodlatte and Josh Williams run all investment decisions. Goodlatte was Facebook's first designer on User Growth and an early angel investor in Coinbase, Envoy, and over 40 startups. Williams was co-founder and CEO of Gowalla, later acquired by Facebook, and has designed for Stripe, Quip, and Squarespace. The firm's website presents them as the two named principals, and no external investment committee is disclosed.
How does Form Capital source proprietary deal flow?
Form Capital sources primarily through the co-founders' networks, built from a decade of operating inside Facebook and from angel investing in companies like Coinbase, Linear, Figma, and Envoy. The firm does not publish a formal sourcing engine, but its pitch — a zero-cost design sprint alongside a seed check — is designed to attract founders who value embedded product and brand work over the typical venture pattern of advice and introductions.
Does Form Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Form Capital's disclosed activity is confined to direct seed-stage equity investments. The firm's website lists only direct positions in startups, and it does not mention participation as a limited partner in other venture funds.
