Office Hours Thank You

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the First Round Capital “Office Hours” yesterday at the University Cafe in Palo Alto. While the economy is tightening, it was a great reminder that the Valley still has no shortage of entrepreneurs with great ideas and lots of guts. These are the folks who will help to turn the tide on the economy.

As is the case with any beta release, we’d appreciate your feedback. In the comments below, please let us know what we could have done better. This is as much your event as ours, help us improve it. From my perspective, the biggest disappointment was running out of time before we could meet with everyone. Coincidentally, the thing that had me most fired up was witnessing the interactions between people while they waited. So as we look to our next Office Hours, we’ll look to find a way to balance a more scheduled approach with one that will allow / encourage spontaneous connections between founders.

Josh, Rob and I were energized by the event and the 50+ people with whom we were able to meet yesterday. Thank you. This is something that First Round Capital is committed to doing again. We want to help make it easier for founders to meet with the venture community – and we also want to find a few great ideas fund! More geographies and more dates to be announced. Stay tuned for more details.
