Pros

firstminute Capital is 1 ~$100 M seed fund based in London investing mainly in tech companies but across a range of verticals. It's compromised of an impressive, tight-knit team all with diverse backgrounds. As an intern, I appreciated both the time the team gave (from investors to partners) to mentor and coach the us as well as the trust and responsibility they placed in our hands. As an example, we were able to attend meetings with founders, LP's, and were encouraged to speak up in investment meetings. As part of the Founders Forum/Founders Factory family, it's clear that firstminute has an unrivaled network that it leverages for exciting deal flow. Interns and full time investors are therefore exposed to a broad range of founders and business leaders. Overall, I can't speak highly enough about firstminute's culture and team and their thoughtful approach to investing.

Cons

Shares office space with Founders Factory, Founders Forum, and Accelerate-Her so can sometimes be difficult to get quiet alone time.
