#32 Howard Morgan

Howard Morgan #32 Chairman, B Capital Group Howard Morgan co-founded First Round Capital with Josh Kopelman, a fellow Seed 100 member, in 2004. And the firm is credited with being the first institutional seed-stage fund. Morgan says he looks for founders who can be coached but don’t blindly follow whatever investors tell them. “I prefer to work with founders who can hear advice — not necessarily follow all of it,” he said. In 2012, Morgan wrote one of the first checks to Nanotronics, which makes robotic industrial microscopic devices. This year, the company achieved a $730 million valuation in its latest funding round, PitchBook indicated. Source: businessInsider
