I find it odd how in all these first employees articles they are all investors now. Would you want to raise from someone who just happened to be a first employee??

First employees have an excellent vantage point to the growth of the company, and are bound to learn tons about running a company.
I would gladly raise from someone who's gone through the gauntlet, as opposed to someone who won the birth lottery and is investing money from the bank of mom and dad.
