SneakerheadVC, @phineasb, (about me)

I am a Principal at First Round Capital, Worked at AND 1 from “day 2″ and founded a fitness video game company. After 10 years as an entrepreneur and two years in business school that did not strip me of my apprenticeship approach to life, I am still an unapologetic sneakerhead, now, sneakerheadVC.

I love to figure out what consumers need and how to build, market and sell it to them. Most of my time is spent in NYC and Boston but I will travel wherever it takes to meet smart people who are building amazing stuff.

You can find me on twitter @phineasb or shoot me an e-mail at phin@firstround.com
