Josh Kopelman: Founding Partner at First Round Capital

Three time founder, two acquisitions, one IPO – Josh Kopelman then decided to try his hand at investing to help other founders navigate their own journeys. The result is one of the best brands in VC, regularly stocking the Midas List, leading in rankings of entrepreneurs favorite VCs, and regularly producing top decile returns. First Round Capital is one of the most heavily access restricted VC funds on the planet and one of the most sought after investors by founders trying to build the next big thing.   Josh is a wealth of thoughtful, candid reflections on why First Round always seems to do things their own way. Most funds with their track record would now be raising $1B+ funds and leading mega rounds to further exploit their impressive portfolio of high growth companies. First Round chooses to focus on what they do best, helping startups navigate their first 24 months of existence.  Listen to Josh explain why they choose to focus – and why they expect that same tunnel vision in their founders.
