Brett Berson started as a college intern at First Round Capital and rose to become a partner, spending nearly his entire career within one early-stage firm rather than moving between funds or operating roles. He leads First Round's Platform team and serves as the architect of their content engine including the First Round Review and In Depth podcast, focusing on pulling detailed company-building lessons from founder interviews rather than promoting himself.
