First Round is an early-stage venture capital firm that helps startups like Notion, Roblox, Uber, Square, Verkada, Together and 500 others tackle company building firsts. From incredible in-person experiences and a vibrant community of fellow builders, to custom-built software, a deep bench of experts, and content with tactical company building advice, we connect early teams with the resources they need to make their first hires, build their first product and find their first customers.
Seems awesome so far. I could see it having some structure based on the nature of the advice offered i.e. who's perspective is offered (designer, developer, VC, etc.) or where there are wholly different schools of thought. This looks super useful as-is though.
I've been using First Search for about a month and find myself returning again and again to help the founders we work with find the information they need. I've also found myself bookmarking a ton of articles to read for later - essentially a more targeted Pocket for my own personal career development.
There is much for ecosystem enablers/investors to learn from First Round. This another great approach to solving a known issue.
