Investment thesis

First Round backs founders at the earliest stages, drawing no distinction between angel, pre-seed and seed. It prioritizes compelling, contrarian founder insight into a market, evidence of passionate early customers, creative go-to-market thinking, and large, worthwhile markets. The founding team is the biggest decision factor. The firm is broadly sector-agnostic but sees investments cluster around enterprise, AI, hardware, healthcare, fintech and consumer. It focuses almost exclusively on U.S.-based companies, invests nationwide beyond SF and New York, is typically the first money in, and does not require a lead role. Partners often take board seats early and favor recurring working sessions with founders over traditional reporting.
