That was a great video; I think it's great that First Round is trying to build their individual brand in the community. Josh's intro was brilliantly done.
That said, I was amazed how cut down they all were.
I'd seen the previews of a few videos that friends at different companies had submitted, and seeing them cut down to 2 seconds was brutal.
Perhaps First Round will release the Director's-Cut edition down the road, but given how many portfolio companies they have now, that might be a 30 minute show! ;)
For next year, it might be best to go back to the formula that worked so well last time- Weave the clips into one narrative, rather than just playing them one after another.

Lots of fun, and Happy Holidays!
