Early stage investments managed by Chris Yin and Kevin Liu. We invest small checks in data-first founders. Our core focus is on pre-seed/seed/A stage companies collecting/creating proprietary data, those that serve as the connective tissue layer between various interfaces (software-software, software-hardware, APIs, etc), and workflow automation. We add most value in helping early-stage founders think about data science/ML strategies, product management, and fundraising.

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.
