Exclusive Conferences
To make something happen, bring people together. That’s the thinking behind our FRC one-day conferences.
In 2008, we saw that a lot of our companies were seeking introductions to the same big media-purchasing agencies. So we put together our First Round Capital NY Agency Day, taking 18 of our companies on one big bus to the four largest media-buying agencies in the world. Each company presented to over 100 media buyers, resulting in many new relationships (and purchase orders!).
In 2009, we saw that many of our companies were looking to do business with folks in Hollywood – so we put together our First Round Capital Entertainment Summit. 16 of our companies met 100+ executives from movie studios, music labels, TV networks, and talent agencies. It was, as they say in LA, a smash.
In 2010, we held our First Round Capital Ecommerce Summit which connected 12 of our eCommerce companies with over 100 executives from top online retailers.
