Alex Marshall, a former Investor at First Round Capital and Director of Platform at Backstage Capital, is now focused on special projects at First Round. With a background in finance and experience as a founder, Alex brings a unique perspective to their work fostering and supporting the early founder ecosystem. Alex spends most of their day working with people who are just diving into the company-building process and thinks a lot about how to expand the scope of resources and initiatives to reach future company-builders, especially those from underrepresented and unconventional backgrounds. Alex's commitment to social equity is reflected not only in their professional work but also in their volunteer work as a family advocate and translator on immigration cases.
