First Round Capital just dropped that fire holiday video

“Hotline Bling” gets the First Round parody treatment.

Josh Kopelman and his woes pile into the drop top and say what’s up hello to all the First Round portfolio companies.

That’s the premise of this year’s holiday video from Philly’s big-time venture capital firm. The always-silly annual tradition even features a few local startups. See if you can spot them:

This year’s vid features clever send-ups of Drake (“You used to offer me a bridge loan”), Major Lazer (“All we need is First Round to lean on”) and Justin Bieber (“Does your website work in Safari?”).
Good to see the FRC folks still having fun.
