Board Partner
First Round Capital
Check: No current personal check range or new-investment authority is published. Richard's official Board Partner role focuses on coaching existing First Round companies; firm-wide check ranges should not be attributed to him personally.
Richard applies experience from building startups and running global revenue organizations to help First Round companies navigate go-to-market. His stated scope spans GTM strategy, customer segmentation, product strategy, team building, and operating at scale. His value is less a sector prediction than pattern recognition across zero-to-one, the messy middle, and hypergrowth.

Partner
Kleiner Perkins
Check: No personal check range or current investment authority is published. Joubin's official role centers on portfolio go-to-market support and operating Roadrunner; founders seeking a new investment should confirm routing through Kleiner's current investing team rather than assume he is a check-writer.
Joubin's current work is company building and portfolio operations. He helps founders construct and scale go-to-market organizations, using experience taking cloud businesses from an initial seller to tens of millions in ARR. As Roadrunner's co-founder and CEO, he also operates inside Kleiner's incubation model. His practical lens is whether a company can translate product value into a repeatable customer segment, sales motion, team, partner ecosystem, and learning cadence.

Founder, Venture Studio and Fundraising Adviser
Cware Labs
Check: Not publicly applicable. Cware Labs describes investment packaging, fundraising, listing preparation and investor-community services but does not publish a standing fund, personal check range or allocation authority for Nick. Clarify whether an engagement is advisory, studio equity, fundraising support or an actual investment before discussing terms.
Nick's operating thesis is that Web3 and AI projects become investable when product, business model, tokenomics, documentation, positioning, growth strategy and fundraising execution form one coherent system. Cware embeds as a studio or adviser, scores readiness across fund-screening criteria and connects projects to specialized technical, security, liquidity, marketing and capital partners.
