71lbs created a "set-and-forget" system that allows SMBs to automatically collect on their FedEx & UPS late shipment refunds. Did you know every FedEx & UPS shipment comes with a money-back-guarantee? If your overnight or ground shipment is late, even by 60 seconds, you have the right to 100% of your money back. Most companies don't file their late shipment claims. More than $2 billion are left unclaimed every year. Visit us @ 71lbs.com

Propeller typically steps in when firms outgrow basic bookkeeping and start to require more sophisticated financial planning and analysis but can't yet rationalize the hiring of 2-3 full-time people to manage all of it. We're responsible for everything a full-time CFO would manage and we use outside CPA firms to do income tax and/or audit work. This keeps us focused on building the business while giving you one point of accountability -- just as you would have with a full-time CFO. As the company scales, we'll help you hire full-time financial staff and gradually phase ourselves out (that typically takes 3-5 years). Until then, whether it’s defending the financial plan in board meetings or processing payables, we can handle everything.  

We’re the most active seed-stage venture firm in the country – and collectively our partners have helped fund and start over 200 companies, so there’s not much we haven’t seen before. We believe in collective teamwork: each portfolio company gets the support of the entire First Round Capital family, not just one board member.

Instead of outsourcing to call centers overseas, we’ve built an elite workforce based in the US, custom annotation tools, and sophisticated quality control systems.
