First Round is a venture capital firm that works with founders exclusively at the earliest stages of company building, often when all they have is an “imagine if.” We fill in where we can until the team is filled out, tackling crucial early hiring and equipping those who are great at building product with the skills to sell it, too. By getting the foundational firsts right, we increase the odds of finding extreme product-market fit. Our founders’ “imagine ifs” have turned into companies like Notion, Roblox, Uber, and Square.

Founded in 1994, Spectrum Equity is a leading growth equity firm with offices in Boston, San Francisco, and London. For over 30 years, we’ve partnered with a select group of businesses across multiple sectors, focusing on category-leading software, data, and consumer internet businesses. We invest more than capital: we aim to create productive partnerships with our portfolio companies and enduring relationships with founders and management teams.
