About

Anabel Paksoy has been working with venture-backed founders since 2014. She started angel investing while still at Opendoor. Her first check went into The Assembly, a venture-backed community and workspace in San Francisco, and she eventually joined the founding team. She later co-founded The People Design House with Nathalie McGrath, a boutique advisory helping early-stage founders like those from Notion, Pave, Lattice, Uniswap, TRM Labs, and Ethos build high-performing teams. Her personal angel portfolio includes TRM Labs, Pave, and Newfront. She met Dustin in March 2020, introduced by the founder of an angel investment. They started collaborating on community and co-investing immediately, and launched 43 together in 2021.
