On Quora, Mr. McCollum said, “not really considering myself a designer, I was initially hesitant, but when he asked ‘who else is going to do it?’, I didn't have a good answer, so I agreed.”



Now: On AngelList, Mr. McCollum lists himself as an entrepreneur-in-residence at both Flybridge Capital and New Enterprise Associates. He is currently an investor in Rentabilities, a service that allows anyone to “rent anything, anywhere,” as well as Locu, a small business-data technology company with fellow Facebook alum Julia Popowitz. He also invests in Curebit, a referral-based ecommerce platform, CustomMade, a service that connects clients to people who can custom build anything, and
WePay, an online payment collection service.
