My interacted with First Star Ventures, I'd like to share my experience. Their focus on partnering with entrepreneurs using frontier technologies like AI, computational biotech, and blockchain is remarkable. They have a strong belief in investing in visionary founders and assist in rapid growth and big thinking.
The team at First Star, including Drew Volpe and Millie Liu as founding partners, brings diverse and deep experience.
In my dealings with them, I found their insights and guidance very valuable. Their approach is hands-on, and they genuinely invest time in understanding your business. However, be prepared for a rigorous evaluation process. They look for startups with a clear vision and the potential to disrupt industries. Overall, my interaction with First Star was both challenging and rewarding, providing me with invaluable growth opportunities for my startup.
