First Round Review

We recognize that there is a wealth of valuable knowledge waiting to be uncovered, which has the potential to revolutionize technology development. The challenge is that this insight is often locked away in the minds of top professionals who seldom have the time to share their expertise, even if they wish to. That's where The Review comes in — our goal is to free this knowledge and ignite action. To fulfill this purpose, we make you three key promises: 1) We will step back and allow experts to communicate directly with you about what they consider to be crucial insights. (This is why we don’t use bylines.) 2) Each article will provide you with practical strategies that you can implement right away to enhance your organization and advance your career. 3) We vow to keep things interesting. The stories here are designed to inform, engage, and leave a lasting impression. We created The Review to help you cut through the clutter so you can make a real difference. We are excited to see what the future holds!

Back in 2018, we set out on a little experiment. We wanted to bring together talented startup builders who were keen on diving deeper into angel investing — those who hoped to both sharpen their skills and escape the “going it alone” feeling by joining an intimate cohort of like-minded peers.
Finding My Best of Both Worlds | First Round Capital

Mar 3, 2023 | firstround.com | Hayley Barna

Almost two years ago, I enthusiastically joined First Round as a Venture Partner knowing it was a time-boxed experiment. I had an open mind and was comfortable not knowing what would come after — starting another venture-backed business, running a neighborhood flower shop, or embarking on a longer career as a VC. Today, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve committed to a long-term career as a General Partner with First Round in New York City.

As you might have heard this morning, my partners and I are thrilled to announce that Todd Jackson will be joining the First Round team as a Partner.

To build a lasting company, founders (and the folks who join them on the startup journey), need to learn how to do a tremendous range of things: build a fantastic product, raise money, hire great people, figure out pricing and packaging, manage well, develop new employees, run a board meeting, evaluate performance, run all-hands meetings and offsites, assemble a top-notch exec team — the list truly goes on and on. At its core, entrepreneurship is a journey of problem-solving.
