Next Legacy Partners achieves maximum ROI by backing leading early-stage venture capital firms and enterprising founders. Next Legacy Partners democratizes access to venture capital. We give philanthropists, athletes, and changemakers a seat at the table by investing in access-constrained venture funds and venture-backed companies on their behalf. We aim to create an impact that reaches beyond monetary returns. We prioritize relationships above transactions Next Legacy is more than any one investment or fund. We are an enduring, evolving community. We share a belief with the firms, founders, and investors we partner with that trust and clear communication lay a foundation for long-term success. Transactions come and go, but our relationships persist. OUR VALUES We achieve outperformance through diverse thinking Diversity is at the heart of our strategy. Contrarians drive outsized venture returns, and contrarian insight primarily comes from diversity of thought. Perspective. Culture. Gender. Race. Relationships. So we’ve assembled our team, our investors, and the founders and VCs we invest in, all with diverse heritages and experiences, giving us advantages that ultimately drive outperformance. Not only is diversity important to us, it’s great for business. We champion excellence through stewardship We take our role as stewards of Next Legacy’s literal and figurative assets seriously, and treat them with the care and respect they deserve. We do well by doing good, and do good by doing well. Our work is to serve our community, so we strive towards excellence in all that we do with deep integrity and honest accountability. We practice a next play mindset We always aspire for better. We won’t always succeed, but we strive to constantly learn and realize our potential, as a team and as a community. We will never be perfect so we are never done. All that really matters is the next play. We cultivate a rookie determination In the constantly changing world of technology and venture capital, a deep hunger for learning and relentless determination propels us onward, rather than resting on past achievements. Elite athletes in every domain never lose their rookie mentality, committing to continuous improvement and growth. Since we’re never done, we’re always just beginning. Impact Creating a seat at the table for this diverse community and harnessing venture capital returns for good is core to what we do. We bring our community together to learn and build relationships, unleashing their resources, connections, and talents to maximize their positive impact on the world.

When we find a founder with Magnetic Ambition, we open the door to the firstminute capital community and we give them everything they need. At your service What can founders expect from working with us? First of all, our 9-person investment team will fight for founders. Between us, members of the team have backed 10 unicorn startups at seed; we have IPO-ed companies; we have started companies; we have fundraised ourselves and we have failed and picked ourselves up again. So we are all here to help with advice, strategy brainstorming, product workshops, introductions to customers, raising a Series A or just being there for you in the tough times as well as the good times. If we can't help, we'll know someone in our extensive network who can and we'll make that intro. On top of the investment team, founders also get the whole "platform" team, which is another 11 people dedicated to helping founders scale their business and help with areas such as hiring and marketing. Our goal is to be the most helpful seed fund in Europe. We love to help founders build. Network effects At firstminute, we see ourselves as collaboration catalysts. We act to unlock the value our the community and bring our own expertise to bear when the time is right. Thanks to our 120 unicorn backers as well as a network of top CEO supporting us, firstminute has an extensive global reach. We like to bring on our investors - some of the top angels in the world - into our deals and as advisers to supercharge companies. firstminute's co-founder is Brent Hoberman, who after founding and exiting two unicorn startups himself created a network of companies under the 'Founders' umbrella. These include a world-class event series called Founders Forum as well as a consultancy, a recruitment firm, a charitable arm and Europe's largest incubator-accelerator. This whole ecosystem is part of our network, which helps with everything from sales introduction to finding top talent. We also have a large investor network to help with that Series A fundraise and beyond, having done deals with our friend at funds such as Tiger Global, Sequoia, Benchmark, a16z, Coatue and Atomico. Being part of our community, with our events and parties with some of the biggest names in tech and business, means you will be working with the best. We do an annual retreat for founders as well as regular drinks and dinners.
