Investor in societal change * human * technology
Jan 2022
Co-founded by Yoko Okano and Minda Brusse, First Row Partners invests in tech addressing three inherent human ambitions:
:: wisdom passing

The complexity building tech solutions in any of these 3 spaces requires a team with specialized insights and deep understanding of the 2+ party exchange and negotiation/acceptance.
These complex actions are ideal for incubating emerging tech where a broader relevance is unlocked as AI increases in quality and use.
