FirstMark x CORE Breakfast

​FirstMark is a New York–based venture capital and growth equity firm with $3.5B in committed capital, backing the next generation of category-defining companies across consumer, software, and AI. FirstMark has partnered early with teams behind Shopify, Pinterest, Ro, Discord, Synthesia, ClickHouse, Vercel, and 130+ more startups building what’s next.

​CORE is excited to host FirstMark and the broader Columbia community for a breakfast and candid conversation about startups, venture, and building a career in the NYC tech ecosystem.

​You’ll hear from FirstMark Partner David Waltcher and Principals Dez Fleming and Kathryn Weinmann on what they’re seeing right now in New York, from emerging trends to how great companies get started, funded, and scaled.

​This is an opportunity for student builders, operators, and engineers to meet the FirstMark team, get a real look at the startup landscape, and learn about pathways into venture or operating roles at high-growth companies in NYC, whether after graduation or later down the road.

​Especially encouraged: Juniors and seniors with tech internships or full-time roles lined up
Open to: Anyone curious about startups and venture

​Location released soon. On campus @ Columbia!
