Top Corner Capital

To all the founders wondering what makes us different---- Browse around a few VC websites these days and you’ll notice that they all start to sound the same. They all say we partner with remarkable founders. We believe in the power of technology to change the world. We back exceptional companies from the very start. But that hasn’t always been the case. When we started First Round over 15 year ago, seed-stage investing wasn’t yet a thing and most doubted it would stick around. Founders-turned-investors were odd balls. And a “Platform Team” that provided services beyond the check was a new idea. These days, a Platform Team is table stakes. Every VC out there promises access to individuals and networks that set founders up for success. Even multi-stage and mega growth firms now dabble in seed-stage investing, backing companies that are no more than a couple of people with an idea. But talk with a few First Round Founders and they’ll tell you how we’re different. They’ll tell you that we know how hard and lonely the startup journey can be, and how we’ve helped them evolve from a great founder to a great CEO. They’ll explain how we equipped them to build a better company by focusing on those first couple of years. They’ll tell you that we believe in working sessions when you’re just getting started - jam sessions where we go deep on a topic, instead of stuffy board meetings. That their First Round partner is the first person they text and call, their coach in the corner - and the kick in the ass when they need it most. Felicia from Binti will explain how partner working sessions helped her navigate the pivot from a consumer app to government-facing technology. They’ll say that we’re always willing to share our unvarnished opinions, but they also know they have our unwavering support. The founders we’ve backed will rave about how we helped them land their most important hire, position the company and write their sales playbook. Stephanie from Boulder will tell you that we connected her to her co-founder Dave. Irving from Bowery will recall fondly how we acted as his head of marketing early on, working side-by-side to brand the vertical farming company for success. And Looker’s founding team will happily share how they honed their sales pitch with their first 20 customers - which were all other First Round companies. They’ll all likely mention that we share the best tactical advice to help other entrepreneurs to do the same via the First Round Review. They’ll mention that while “community” gets thrown around a lot these days, our efforts to connect founders across First Round companies have built their most valuable set of peers. They’ll tell you that our Founder Retreat was “the most valuable professional event I’ve ever been to (hands down).” That this group of their peers not only helps them tackle tactical topics, but also provides a sense of belonging. They’ll tell you that our CEO Salons aren’t just founder dinners, they’re painstakingly-designed events to connect with and learn from other CEOs going through the tough stuff. As Kareem from Clay put it, we give founders space to “grapple with existential concerns around the values they are choosing for building their company, what success means to them and the ultimate value of their work.” They’ll tell you how crazy and all-consuming raising capital can be and what a difference Pitch Assist made. How this dedicated Series A capital team helped them craft a compelling narrative, set the right strategy and build a visual presentation that got the job done. They’ll tell you they never thought they’d spend 50 hours perfecting their pitch, but that this fundraising bootcamp is a big reason why 80% of First Round-backed companies “graduate” to Series A (compared to an industry average of 31%). They’ll tell you that their hardest job is building and managing a stellar team, and that we don’t just serve founders as individuals but the rest of their teams too. They’ll explain how Fast Track (our three-month 1:1 mentorship program), and Manager Track (our training program for first-time managers) are custom-built just for their employees. They’ll tell you how much their teams benefit from Network, our custom-built software that allows for connections with thousands of others from across every First Round company. Daniel, the head of finance at Lob, will tell you how being the only finance person at the company felt isolating and how Network helped him sharpen subject-matter specific skills and build relationships with other like-minded people. They’ll tell you that we’re obsessed with quality and constant improvement. That, like all great founders, we start small and iterate quickly. That Fast Track started off by pairing a small group of mentors and mentees together and hoping they’d get together to learn something over the course of a quarter. It’s now a program that serves over 1500 people who meet regularly with structured learning and development programming. 83% of mentees say it changed the trajectory of their careers. Most importantly, they’ll tell you that we do the right thing, even when it’s hard. That we believe in long-term thinking and if they end up shutting down the company, we won’t be out there trying to get $0.10 on our dollar. In fact, they know that we might very well be the first check into their next startup. Heck, it’s hard to explain how we’re different when every VC website says exactly the same thing. Luckily for us, founders don’t say the same thing about every VC. Sincerely, Team First Round

Since the beginning of invention, humanity has advanced because the remarkable have pushed us forward. Because select women and men of their times have dared to think differently, to build it better, to do what’s never been done. Across the ages, we’ve had many names for these people. Today, at Foundation Capital … We call them founders. The Founders Age We back individuals who want to nudge the world ahead in some way, using a transformative business as their fulcrum. Great companies, like Apple or Amazon or Netflix, aren’t formed from code and corporate charters. They’re built on a foundation of dreams and desires; raised up through struggle and sacrifice. For such companies to succeed, their founders have to want success badly. It has to come from the deepest part of them - a hunger to create something consequential, something lasting; a need to prove themselves, whether out of a sense of mission, or a yearning for significance, or a heart full of disobedience. We look for founders who believe - even if they would never speak it out loud - that the purpose of life is to be briefly extraordinary. Ambition alone won’t get you there. Smart is not sufficient. A clever idea is rarely clever enough. And pedigree does not mean prepared for the rigors of being an entrepeneur. Standing an idea up and willing it into a billion-dollar business is a mad undertaking. A founder’s job isn’t just marketing, or product, or sales - a founder’s job is to build an entire company, which never happens in a straight line. That’s why the mark in our logo isn’t an F, it’s the Kryptonian symbol for “resilience.” Because there will be countless days of rejection, derision, overwork, exhaustion, loneliness, and defeat. The entrepreneurs we fund - often based on little more than an audacious idea - have to have the superhuman grit to stand up from every fall, sweep the dirt off, and say to themselves, “Is that all you’ve got?” Finding individuals who possess/are possessed by these qualities is an epiphany for us. And journeying with them - from founder to CEO, from idea to IPO - is why Foundation Capital exists. If there’s a sense of accomplishment that you’ve been searching for all your life, if you have inside of you the determination and vision to create a generationally important company - then this is your time: the Founders Age. Let’s get to work. Foundation Capital Foundation Capital was founded in 1995. As an early-stage venture capital firm, we’ve lived through the emergence of the World Wide Web, the IT war of the 90s, the dot-com bubble, social media, the mobile revolution, the Great Recession, the rise of Big Data, software’s ascension to the cloud, the birth of blockchain, Covid-19, and the AI moment. The wisdom of those experiences remains with us, transmitted to each successive generation of partners. Two-thirds of VC firms never make it past their first fund; only 10 percent survive beyond their fourth. We are 28 years and more than a dozen funds strong, with over $3B in committed capital, 34 IPOs and ICOs, and 80+ acquisitions to our name. Our fintech, enterprise, consumer, and crypto investments have reinvented industries and defined new markets, with companies that include Solana, Lending Club, Sunrun, TubeMogul, and Netflix. For a quarter of a century - through boom and bust, prosperity or calamity - Foundation Capital has endured, evolved, and thrived. Building companies is in our bones. No one knew precisely where our collaborations would take us, but that’s part of the thrill. When Foundation Capital backed a DVD-by-mail service in 1999, who could’ve imagined that Netflix would one day become the world’s first global television network. When we led the investment in Atheros (acquired by Qualcomm), to create the wireless technology that enables WiFi, no one envisioned that it would lead to a planet where billions of people now carry supercomputers in their pockets. Nor did anyone fully imagine that those devices would be used to summon, at the touch of a digital button, a rideshare from Uber, which we invested in a decade later. Ultimately, and in spite of it all, we believe in the possibilities of technology. We see business as a constructive good for society. We take chances on people whom others overlook. And we put our faith in scrappy, spirited teams to solve problems and push boundaries. On any day of the year and any hour of the day, come what may, we bind our fortunes to those who dare to burn away the obsolete and forge the unimagined future. Who “We” Are Beyond our shared values, “we” statements make us a little uncomfortable because the partners of Foundation Capital are defined by our differences as much as by our commonalities. The firm includes individuals from a patchwork of backgrounds, professional experiences, and walks of life. Our belief is that excellence comes in infinite variety. In fact, we regard these divergent perspectives as our unfair advantage. They vastly enrich our understanding of the world, help us to reach truth, and light up what would otherwise be blind spots and biases. “We” statements also make us uneasy because we draw strength from our disagreements as much as from accord. We go several levels deep in our conversations, with no filter other than mutual respect. This culture of open dialogue keeps us intellectually honest and leads to better analysis and decision making. We’re not a family or a club. We are a partnership. As partners, we are held together by the power of our ideas, the force of our arguments, and the steel of our convictions. As Whitman wrote, “Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)” I am American, I am Mexican, I am Canadian. I am from India, from China, from Argentina. I am an engineer, a financier, a product designer. I am a scientist, a sales executive, an entrepreneur. I am an introvert; an extrovert. I coach Little League. I paint landscapes. Work is my hobby. I chase after my kids. I was a professional tennis player. I surf on the weekends. You can find me cycling through the Santa Cruz Mountains. I’m always looking for a good podcast. I enjoy overanalyzing TV shows. I like discovering great espresso in far-flung places. I haven’t had a sip of caffeine in eight years. I’m a dog person; I’m a cat person. I love opera. I love Bruce Springsteen. I read scientific journals for fun and profit. I am a man. I am a woman. I am a partner to my fellow partners and a fellow traveler to my founders and CEOs. I am Foundation Capital. What We Invest Once we make a decision, the arguments stop and the partnership folds into an indivisible fist that will punch through any walls on our founders’ behalf. Whether that means helping them to recruit and hire 10X product engineers, connect with potential customers, think through market segmentation and revenue strategy, close a complicated funding round, or triage a PR crisis. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes to help our companies succeed. Building and scaling businesses is what we do, and hustling is in our blood. We’re a team of seasoned operators and former founders, with deep domain expertise in everything from technology, sales, and product to marketing, finance, and design. If there’s something we’re not personally expert in, we’ll pull in someone from our network who is. One of the benefits of being a longstanding firm is that we’ve built a massive community of founders, executives, and investors. We can flood, pour, or anoint our founders and CEOs with as much expertise and assistance as they need. As we see it, capital is fundamentally a system of trust, a technology for productive cooperation. What matters most to us is nurturing relationships, not closing transactions. Or put another way: Word travels fast when you’re a bastard. That’s a truth we at Foundation hold dear in our hearts, regardless of whether it’s a board meeting at a public company or coffee with a college student trying to launch her first startup. In all interactions with entrepreneurs, our commitment is to act in good faith, with integrity and professionalism, and to always add value. On this principle, each and every member of the partnership is held to account. We view our relationships with founders as both an opportunity and a responsibility. Our pledge to them is that we will make the meeting worthwhile. We will come with both prepared minds, having done our homework, and open minds, ready to embrace the seemingly crazy or impossible. We will ask difficult questions, push them on the hard parts of the business, and we will give tough, unsentimental feedback. But they will walk out of the meeting a little bit smarter. They will leave with greater clarity on what they must do. They will come away from every experience with Foundation Capital feeling like it made them and their company better.
