FirstGen’s Post

Our historical relationship to money has huge implications on how we think about financial risk-taking. These mindsets, cultural norms and lived experiences have big impact on decision making for founders. Join us in NYC on Tuesday, June 25th as we dive into how first generation and immigrant founders think about money - the mindsets, beliefs and constructs that shape decision-making. Thank you to our panelists for taking on this difficult, but needed conversation: Lei Bely-Cheng 成蕾, David Tswamuno, Ray Fu and Evelysse Vargas Thank you to Free Agency and Acronym Venture Capital for supporting this event. #firstgen #firstgenfounders #firstgenentrepreneurship #nyctech #nycfounders #nycstartups
