Chris Fralic
I spent the first 20 years of my career working in technology companies, from big tech companies to small startups like Half.com and del.icio.us, mostly in sales and business development roles. I spent the last 15 years at First Round working with startups like Roblox, Flurry, Ring, Invite Media, Warby Parker, Hotel Tonight, Double Verify, Rec Room and 70 others from their earliest days. As a VC I've been on the receiving end of many thousands of emails, made or received many thousands of introductions, and seen how relationships and personal reputations are built - or not. The purpose of the course is to explore and share what I've learned, especially with those who are earlier in their careers, and I'd love to see some founders and investors in the group.
