Partner, First Round Capital
Josh is a founding Partner at First Round Capital, a seed-stage technology venture fund. Josh has been an active entrepreneur and investor in the Internet industry since its commercialization. In 1992, while he was a student at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Josh co-founded Infonautics Corporation – and took it public on the NASDAQ stock exchange in 1996. Josh founded Half.com in July of 1999, and led it to become one of the largest sellers of used books, movies and music in the world. Half.com was acquired by eBay in July 2000 -- and Josh remained with eBay for three years, running the Half.com business unit and growing eBay’s Media marketplace to almost half a billion dollars in annual gross merchandise sales. In late 2003 Josh helped to found TurnTide, an anti-spam company that created the world's first anti-spam router. TurnTide was acquired by Symantec just six months later. Josh founded First Round Capital in 2004 to reinvent seed-stage investing. And since that time the firm has invested in over 350 emerging technology startups – becoming one of the most active venture capital firms in the country. Josh was ranked 3rd on the 2018 New York Times list of Top Venture Capitalists and consistently ranks in the top 20 of the Forbes Midas List of the top 100 tech investors. Josh has been named as one of the top ten ‘angel investors’ in the United States by Newsweek magazine, one of "Tech's New Kingmakers" by Business 2.0 magazine and a "Rising VC Star" by Fortune magazine. Josh also is the proud winner of a second place ribbon in the 2011 Nantucket Watermelon Eating competition. Josh is an inventor on sixteen U.S. Patents for his work in Internet technology. In June 2000, he was awarded Ernst and Young’s prestigious “Entrepreneur of the Year” award for the Greater Philadelphia region. Josh earned a Bachelor of Science degree cum laude in Entrepreneurial Management and Marketing from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Mark Goldstein been involved in online services since 1983 when I got my first job at Apple and was put in charge of home investing, banking and online gaming. I enjoy the rush of being the underdog with a new project and changing people’s perception of the status quo. I’ve led industry trade associations, been a member of numerous founding teams and personally started a dozen companies, the bulk with solid outcomes. I’m driven to solving interesting, marketing-related problems in big known sectors (i.e. retail, investing, gaming, accounting) and being a part of a smart heads-down team where everyone has dirty fingernails. I’ve also concluded it takes almost as much time and energy to solve a big, fun problem as a smaller, dull one—so I mise as well now just think BIG BIG BIG and surround myself with a hungry, wicked focused team of brainiacs. I’m also been an active angel investor, Board member and/or Adviser to over 50 firms. The Advisors.fund (www.advisors.fund) is a venture fund investing in early-stage health tech and vertical SaaS businesses. To date, $25M has been put work and over 100 investments have been made. Typically invest in 6-7 companies/year where partners also assume an active advisory role.

If you are an entrepreneur who has the courage to do what seems impossible, the insights to credibly connect the dots between the realities of today to the seemingly impossible future, and the ambition to build an enduring business around those insights, the Sequoia Team and I are all ears and willing to help you accomplish those dreams. At the core, I am an operator fortunate enough to help teams scale three companies from the formidable founding stages to profitable businesses and to successful exits, such as a banner-advertising network (LinkExchange [MSFT]), a voice recognition cloud platform (Tellme Networks [MSFT]); and a customer service company that just happens to sell shoes, clothing, and other stuff (Zappos.com [AMZN]). I am an applied mathematician and statistician by training, so, in addition to knowing something about bootstrapping startups, I can also geek out on bootstrapping statistics.
