Big thank you to Vince Jeong of Sparkwise for speaking at todays FirstGen breakfast. We had a great discussion on buying signals vs noise, navigating early b2b sales and sales channels and bias for action and hyper specific hypothesis vs frameworks and endless experimentation. Thank you for the candid, detailed and tactical conversation Vince! Thank you to Jamie Katcher and the Raise Commercial Real Estate team for hosting us at their beautiful space in flatiron.

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

Join us for our next conversation, FirstGen: A Complex Relationship to Money on Tuesday June 25th. Money and our relationship to it influences so much of how we make business decisions. Growing up with less means, often entails that first generation and immigrant founders have a more complex relationship to money than most entrepreneurs. The lived experiences and cultural norms can lead to a number of limiting beliefs or scarcity mindsets that have significant consequences on the decisions founders make and also the emotional burdens they carry. Join us for a conversation 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 which span the lived spectrum of the firstgen experience: ✔ Ray Fu, Co-founder and CEO at Nickel ✔ Lei Bely-Cheng 成蕾, Director, Wealth Advisor at Citizens ✔ David Tswamuno Funder and Managing Partner of Fairbridge ✔ Evelysse Vargas, Partner at BEA Venture Fund Link to register is below, we hope to see you there!

Thank you to Dave Kerwar, John Hui, Samson Magid, Carl Madi and Chaitenya Razdan for sharing their time and experiences with us.
