A bit more on us:
Are you hiring for any open roles at First Round?
Yes, we are! Check out our open roles.
How do I know which partner is the best fit for my company?
While our partners have different interest areas, we’re extremely collegial in how we work. We often evaluate investment opportunities as a group and frequently hand off companies to the partner with the most experience in the space (or located in the right geography). The investment team constantly talks about everything they’re seeing and what they find interesting. So don’t hesitate to get in touch with your closest connection to get the ball rolling.
