Description

Back in 1995, only 14% of Americans had internet access, and most of that was painfully slow. But Josh Chodniewicz could see the future of ecommerce, and started up Art.com, which eventually grew to over 1,000 employees. Now as an investor, Josh has struggled with building a diverse portfolio, having access to deals, and finding experts to vet the companies in industries he doesn't know very well - and that's exactly why he's starting Fundify.

First Check is hosted by Cofounders Capital partner Tim McLoughlin, and is a production of Earfluence.
