Elijah Lewis

Software Engineer

"I’ve always admired the entrepreneurs who both build great products and carry out impactful missions, so I’m thrilled to be a part of their journey by assisting them and our internal team as a software engineer at First Round.”


I grew up tinkering with computers from an early age, so it’s no surprise I made coding my career.

Elijah studied Computer Science at the University of Virginia, where he earned High Distinction for his machine learning research assisting folks with anxiety in an online therapy program. Post-college, he moved to Wisconsin to work at Epic, tackling healthcare interoperability as a full-stack engineer.

His entrepreneurial spirit kicked in shortly after, and he later jumped into building his own products and started navigating the startup world. Inspired by indie hackers, he bootstrapped a productivity SaaS application called Modal as a solo founder. Later, he helped found 4RL, a startup tackling the loneliness epidemic in Washington D.C. by connecting people in person.
