There’s a bit of a back story to this one.
Last month, before a First Round event in Center City, Technically Philly had arrived a bit early and began to walk down the steps of G Lounge to see if there were any other early-birds. Halfway down, we heard a chorus of voices harmonizing the phrase “We are First Round” and thought the venture capital company was pumping itself up like a football team before a game.
Turns out they were recording their part for the company’s yearly holiday video, featuring the firm’s portfolio singing, like Susan Boyle, to “I Dreamed a Dream.” Vid’s complete with reactions from “Britain’s Got Talent” hosts, near tears. It’s damn funny – and awkward.
Watch it after the jump and see local companies Monetate, MyYearbook, ClickEquations and Invite Media.

And don’t forget last year’s parody of viral marketing stunt Where the Hell is Matt?
