the 4th route of escape… At First Round Capital we invest at the seed stage. The companies are agile, the ideas are powerful and the founders are pushing the limits. These businesses are kind of like motorcycles. I used to ride a motorcycle and I used to be an entrepreneur. I think the two are similar in lots of ways…fast, fun, scary, sexy, independent…but the biggest similarity to me is the instincts required to be safe on a bike and to be successful in a start-up. In the early days of riding the motorcycle and in my career as an operator, reacting to traffic like I was driving a car almost killed me….a couple times.
