Reviews of Season 1: The Network Effects Masterclass
Melia Russell
Business Insider
"NFX has emerged as a prolific early-stage venture firm. The firm stands apart with its focus on developing software for founders and providing it for free. The NFX Masterclass builds on a firm tradition of aiding founders. It invites founders to settle in with a cup of coffee and hear from their investors for over three hours, giving them a taste of all the guidance and support the firm has to offer."
