“In my role as Chief of Staff, I work alongside First Round Partner Josh Kopelman to evaluate new investment opportunities and support the exceptional builders in the First Round community.”
I’m continually inspired by entrepreneurs who excel at both delayed gratification and imaginative thinking. This drew me to First Round, whose dynamic and empowering system puts these types of founders first and nurtures an ecosystem of innovation.
Prior to First Round, Tory was the Head of Product at Resonance Companies — a full-stack operating system for fashion brands to build a more profitable and sustainable apparel industry. During her 7 years there, she worked alongside the co-founders across strategy and operations, architecting and launching the digital product from 0 to 1. She has experience building products for very different types of customers from consumer to B2B, from hardware to AI applications.
