Frst positions itself as ‘the first believers’ in world-class entrepreneurs, designed from scratch to be the ideal partner for exceptional founders at Day One. They operate on a high-conviction mindset for seed investing, making most decisions in 2 meetings and 48 hours when companies have no team, product, or incorporation. Their approach is rooted in entrepreneurial experience—the founders themselves are entrepreneurs who understand company building from multiple angles (entrepreneurship, PE, consulting).
