The First 200

The First 200 is a media platform and founder network documenting entrepreneurs from distinct backgrounds who have raised more than $1 million in venture capital funding.

Through long-form podcast interviews, index reports, and events, the platform is designed to inspire founders and help the wider venture ecosystem identify patterns and opportunities.

The inaugural cohort focuses on the first 200 Black women founders in the United States who have raised more than $1 million in a single venture capital round.
