I love getting a glimpse into the future being built by the outstanding founders we are meeting today, and feel endlessly inspired by their ability to tackle challenges with a big vision.
Prior to First Round, Emma spent several years working at the intersection of technology, real estate, and urbanization. During her time at Sidewalk Labs, she gained an intimate understanding of the process involved in incubating an idea, transforming it into a product, and scaling it into a revenue-generating business. Most recently, she was a member of the growth team at Ori, a robotic furniture company. She helped consumer and real estate developer audiences understand the vision of living in an expandable studio, which gave her an appreciation for how difficult, yet rewarding, it is to challenge the status quo.
