On Tuesday, FirstGen hosted a conversation about the Complex Relationship to Money that many immigrant and first generation founders, professionals and investors have. We had the chance to discuss mindsets and challenges that impact the FirstGen community and the practical ways to overcome and break down those limiting mindsets. We talked about:  - The cost of feeling like we owe our parents  - The perils of perfectionism and feeling the need to over-prove   - The scarcity mindset vs abundance mindset  - The impact humble beginnings on decision-making and risk-taking Thank you to our panelists Lei Bely-Cheng 成蕾 David Tswamuno Ray Fu and Evelysse Vargas for such a genuine and vulnerable conversation. And to those who showed up to take part in this conversation. Until next one! Thank you to Sherveen Mashayekhi, Free Agency and Acronym Venture Capital for supporting this event Ines Gramegna James Hueston #firstgen #firstgenfounders #immigrantfounders #nyctech #immigrantentreprenuership
