Co-Founder of FirstGen Funders
2024
Co-founder of a new initiative from FirstGen to help create cohorts of 8-10 First or Second Generation Immigrant Investors who meet monthly to help support our mutual growth in the industry with an eye to one day make partner or raise our own venture funds to better redistribute capital more equitably. More about FirstGen: FirstGen is dedicated to providing immigrant and first-generation founders with a comprehensive support experience, bridging the gap that often exists for FirstGen communities. We provide FirstGen founders with a community, resource and platform to build venture scale companies. Our model is purpose built to provide access to social and financial capital that many FirstGen founders lack; while our community brings together founders and supporters who hail from around the world and cultivates knowledge, empathy, support, collaboration, trust and access. Our goal is to unleash the entrepreneurial potential of the immigrant experience by lowering barriers to venture-scale entrepreneurship and providing the resources, training, network, and support to succeed. Our mission is to help First Generation & Immigrant ("FirstGen") founders raise their first $1m in funding and achieve $1m in revenue through the 4Cs.
