We’re looking for founders with a vision for a better world. We invest in leaders (because we’ve shared their journey).


 
 
FOUNDERS FUNDING FOUNDERS

We’ve succeeded against the odds, let us help you do the same.

No one understands better than a fellow founder what it’s like to give birth to a new idea. We’ve shared the dream of changing lives, creating new paradigms, finding a better way (forging new paths to markets.)  We’ve experienced the exhilaration and the exhaustion - the long hours – the endless meetings – the ceaseless reassessments, the humbling breakdowns and the soaring breakthroughs. We’ve walked in your shoes, felt your pain, came up against the same frustrations. We’ve lived your conviction and determination, and your excitement and wonder. We’ve leaped over the seemingly insurmountable, opened our minds, learned from our mistakes, and achieved the unthinkable.  

We share the most potent weapon in the drive for excellence— the Founder’s will. We know that new ideas create a better future, because we’ve lived it. That‘s why we invest in people first.

What is First Point?

Our name derives from a place where nature meets human will and endeavor to create an experience of the sublime. First Point is the legendary surf break on the Malibu coast, where the sea meets the sky and the waves hold an ideal form. Those who approach it with patience, mindfulness and purpose are rewarded with the unparalleled exhilaration (and life-changing experience) of the perfect ride. It is a metaphor for the launching point of a transformative journey— one that can take you exactly where you want to go.

 

PORTFOLIO

We invest in a limited set of companies, setting aside the time and the resources to support founders and their teams. Here are a few.

We understand the power of new ideas. We know the challenges on the road to success. We believe doing good never goes out of style.

Our approach is built around consciousness, balance and joy. We bring our whole team’s investing and operating experiences to everything we do. We don’t shy away from hard work and aim to be a founder’s first point on their journey to success.

If you’re a founder with a vision for a better world,
we’d love to hear from you.
