We’re proud to share that Eric Paley, our long-time partner and dear friend, has been appointed Secretary of Economic Development for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by Governor Maura Healy.

We’re thrilled to announce that Jack Arenas has joined Founder Collective as the new Principal in our SoHo office. He represents the value and ethos of FC – he’s a builder at heart, lived the ups and downs of the founder journey and loves to work with founders across the tech industry.

After a decade of building and scaling startups, I’m excited to embark on my next chapter as a Principal at Founder Collective in their NYC office.

The first years of a startup are a rollercoaster of stress for founders where success is unpredictable and sometimes seems out of reach. Most investors have no idea what operating under that level of ambiguity is like, but Amanda Herson does.
