Insights from Jing

If you had to recommend one book to an entrepreneur, what would it be?

When fundraising, it’s helpful to understand the POV of the other side of the table. The Business of Venture Capital gives a general idea of how investors think, operate, and assess deals. Use this to your advantage.

What is your best “life-hack”?

Seek advice and follow through.

How did you get into venture capital?

During my undergrad in the Bay Area, I did internships across tech, M&A, and VC. Before graduating, I was fortunate enough to connect with Jim, our operating partner, and never looked back since.

What is your best “life-hack”?

We have hundreds of “to-dos” each day and I find that triaging the top 3-5 tasks I want/need to complete on a professional and personal level each day helps me prioritize. If I’m able to accomplish these 3-5 things, the day should feel like a success.
