It is absolutely incredible how consistently high quality the First Round Review is. It might be the only publication that I will read every word of anytime someone sends me an article. Doesn’t matter if it’s a week or 6 years old — their content is truly evergreen to founders.

Had a blast sharing the BTS story of Figma Slides! 🛝 Taking this project from hackathon project to Config was both so challenging & incredibly rewarding. And one of the most fun parts was making “flides” go internally viral 📈 Ty to First Round for capturing the story! ❤️

There’s no shortage of advice for transitioning into eng management, but there’s much less for the flip side: pivoting back to IC. That's why this First Round Review article w/ David Loftesness is such a gem. This 90-day plan help EMs return to their coding roots. review.firstround.com/this-90-day-pl…

This piece is EPIC (and Jessi Craige Shikman is being very generous with the word "we" here). It's an editorial feat that was truly a sight to behold how it all came together — and the startup community is all the better for it as these lessons from EvolutionIQOfficial are shared more widely.

The basic blocking and tackling of early GTM still matters, even (especially) in the AI era. That’s why I’m pumped to put my years in the GTM trenches to use in a new series launching today on the First Round Review, called 0-$5M. I spent months sitting down with an epic group

17,784 hours. That’s exactly how long CEO @samcorcos has spent on @levels since founding the startup 5 years ago. Today on the Review, he shares an ultra-detailed and minute-by-minute breakdown into where that time went.

Most founders go through an invention phase and then an execution phase. The best founders never stop inventing -- and Celine Halioua is world class at this. Loyal is a complex business with a big ambition: “Imagine if” we had more time with the dogs we love. Celine

Your ICP can’t be “anyone with a budget.” It should be so narrow that when you describe who your product’s for, your friends think you’re kinda crazy for building something so niche. And in my view, defining a radically specific ICP is one of the most overlooked steps in going
