Case Study: First Round Capital improves team communication and meeting effectiveness with Range

First Round Capital runs meetings across 40 team members with Range

First Round Capital, a venture capital firm, faced the challenge of maintaining effective communication and alignment across its fast-growing, functionally diverse team of 40 people. To address this, they partnered with Range and utilized its platform alongside other tools like Slack and Notion to structure their meetings and asynchronous touchpoints.

The solution implemented with Range focused on enhancing meeting effectiveness through asynchronous preparation and reducing bias in decision-making. This included practices like sharing pre-read documents and using tools for anonymous brainstorming. The results were improved meeting efficiency, better cross-functional context sharing through a weekly company-wide email, and a more aligned and educated team, enabling First Round Capital to operate effectively across its multiple workstreams.
