Are you a startup founder or entrepreneur, or interested in how the future of technology with evolve? I make new videos every week about technology platform shifts, venture investing, and topics relevant to launching your business. I’m a Silicon Valley based venture capitalist at multi-billion dollar fund SignalFire, and an investor in companies such as Uber, Ro, Grammarly, and others. I spent years bouncing between stints at Google, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, and Harvard Business School, but grateful that this path finally led me to my dream job as a VC. I was raised by parents from a farming village in Taiwan, who left everything behind to become engineers in America and build a better life for their kids. I’m inspired by a world with no gatekeepers, and my personal mission is to raise the collective level of empathy in the world. Today, I do this by investing in early-stage startups that are breaking down the barriers to a more connected, open and educated society.

This is my most highly requested video topic! It’s not always this glamorous, but I think being a VC is an incredible job. You’re spending your time looking for the next Google or Facebook, and in the process, you’re getting paid to meet and learn from incredible entrepreneurs who are building the future in the present. But becoming a venture capitalist is maybe the most difficult career path I know. The reality is there’s probably only 100-200 VCs in the world who work at one of the major VC funds and have returned ANY serious money to their own investors. But breaking into VC can be done, and my mission is to demystify this for outsiders. In this video I’m gonna give you the inside scoop on how I broke into venture capital at the famed Kleriner Perkins which invested in companies like Google, Amazon, and Twitter, and how I become a general partner at SignalFire, one of the fastest growing silicon valley funds in history.
