Jeff Donnon

Chief Financial Officer

I understand those who seek the excitement and empowerment one can experience at early-stage companies. One of the main reasons I joined First Round as its fourth hire was to have the opportunity to help build something incredible from its infancy.

In my capacity as CFO, I oversee all of our financial activities, including reporting, budgeting, forecasting and cash management, among other functions. I’m also responsible for all accounting and reporting to limited partners, as well as the structuring of transactions from an administrative and accounting perspective to ensure compliance with limited partnership agreements.

Prior to First Round, I was an operational and financial reporting manager at Half.com, where I was responsible for accounting and financial reporting functions as well as treasury management. I have a B.S. in Business Administration with a major in Accounting and an M.B.A. with a concentration in technology and e-commerce from West Chester University of Pennsylvania.

I’m an avid runner and look forward to the Philadelphia Marathon every November. I’ve been known to hold my own as a competitive recreational soccer player, and am undoubtedly the most skilled player at First Round who has “Donnon” on his jersey.
