The First 200
The First 200 is a media platform and podcast documenting entrepreneurs from distinct backgrounds who have raised more than $1 million in venture capital funding. The first season of the podcast focuses on the first 200 Black women founders in the United States to raise more than $1 million in a single venture round. We’ll discuss what it actually takes to build a venture-backed company and explored topics including fundraising, leadership, growth, pivots, execution, and the realities of scaling a business when the odds aren’t always in your favor.
