Breaking Barriers: FirstGen Secures $1M to Empower Immigrant and First-Generation Founders on Their Venture Journey

We are thrilled to announce that FirstGen has successfully raised $1,000,000 in our latest funding round—a major milestone for our mission-driven company. Founded in 2018, FirstGen is built on the belief that immigrant and first-generation founders deserve exceptional support and resources to overcome the unique challenges they face. Our platform delivers a comprehensive support experience that bridges the often significant gap for first-generation communities by offering not only financial backing but also social capital that is vital for nurturing entrepreneurial success. The recently raised funds will be strategically allocated to expand our community, enhance our platform, and scale up services designed to help FirstGen founders launch venture-scale companies. By investing in advanced training and building a robust network of mentors, investors, and advisors, we aim to lower barriers and create more access to capital and expertise for our founders. Our innovative model, known as the 4Cs, specifically targets the early stages of entrepreneurial growth, ensuring that promising FirstGen founders not only raise their first $1 million in funding but also achieve $1 million in revenue. This financial boost will empower us to further enrich our resources and provide tailored support that cultivates trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to success. As we take this next step, our commitment to unlocking the entrepreneurial potential of the immigrant experience remains as strong as ever. We are excited for what the future holds and look forward to seeing our founders thrive on a truly global stage.
