FirstMark is a network-driven firm, built around communities with networks that give it access to the companies, entrepreneurs and advisors in the technology ecosystem. FirstMark's Platform comes to life through peer networks, full lifecycle recruiting, and customer and partner development.
Notably, Guilds by FirstMark is a collection of invite-only communities FirstMark runs for C-level executives that currently counts over 2,700 members representing over 60% of global tech unicorns. These communities provide FirstMark portfolio companies "unfair access" to a network of peers, 100+ annual company-building events, and more.
FirstMark is also known for its flagship events, including their annual CEO Summit & Founder Dinner (which takes place at the New York Stock Exchange and welcomes 250 Founders & Venture Capitalists), CloudNY (which welcomes 150 cloud CEOs to hear from legendary tech founders and CEOs), and Data Driven NYC (a 20,000-person AI/ML community that has been running for more than a decade and has featured leading AI researches, founders, and investors).
