First Round Capital

Investing at the earliest possible stage, First Round offers a growing number of services and products to help founders build companies from scratch. We don't split angel, seed and pre-seed funding into separate categories — we're interested in providing the same support across the board. From Uber and Roblox to Notion and Square, this is how we've helped 300+ companies start up.

Growth Trajectory

First Round Capital demonstrates growth potential by supporting companies through Series A and beyond, with a high percentage of portfolio companies achieving this milestone. They focus on developing programs like 'Pitch Assist' and 'Sales Assist' to enhance fundraising and sales efforts for their startups. Further expansion lies in continually improving the First Round Network platform, expanding its resources, and investing in companies across various sectors and geographies, particularly within the U.S. and Canada.
