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.

We are Spark Capital, investors in products we love by creators we admire, including Affirm, Anthropic, Carta, Cruise, Discord, Oculus, Plaid, Postmates, Slack, Twitter, and Wayfair. We know there are no playbooks or formulas for success and are here to help founders win their own way. We invest across all sectors and stages, and work out of San Francisco, Boston, and New York City.

The New York City Public Schools is the branch of municipal government in New York City that manages the citys public school system. These schools form the largest school system in the United States, where over 1 million students are taught in more than 1,400 separate schools across the five boroughs. NYCPS is committed to creating and supporting learning environments that reflect the diversity of New York City. We believe that all students benefit from diverse and inclusive schools and classrooms, and we strive to welcome and support all students, families, and school staff. To do this, we hire diverse central, administrative, and school-based staff. Additionally, we strive to achieve equity and opportunity in our procurement by purchasing goods and services from a diverse vendor pool and supporting Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs). These efforts ensure that our diverse student body receives the tools to thrive in college, in careers, and as active members of their communities.
