Welcome to my profile! I'm John, and incoming student at the Stanford GSB and a current investor in a growth stage VC fund. Given the broad focus of my fund, I have a deep understanding of the startup ecosystem and what it takes to succeed in the world of venture capital.

I want to help clients break into venture capital investing regardless of their background.

Hello and welcome to my profile! I'm a Stanford MBA graduate and currently work as a venture capitalist. My journey into VC was anything but typical—in fact, the closest preparation I had was my experience at McKinsey in the U.S. I'm passionate about helping aspiring MBA students navigate the admissions process and map out a strong career trajectory even before starting their program. As someone who had never been to the U.S. before pursuing my MBA, I particularly enjoy supporting international students and explorers of paths like management consulting, and venture capital. Spoiler alert: If you’re aiming for venture capital, it’s definitely one of the tougher roads—but with the right strategy and preparation, it’s entirely achievable. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and set you on the path to success!

I’m an active investor at Level Up Ventures, backing pre‑seed and seed founders who’ve historically lacked access to capital. Previously, at Volvo Cars Tech Fund global CVC. I operated across the U.S., Europe, and China, sourcing and diligencing early‑stage deals and working with portfolio teams. I’ve also held roles with Microsoft’s venture fund (M12), F‑Prime Capital, and ByteDance, and I bring an operator’s lens from time at an early‑stage startup. I’ve supported multiple early‑stage investments end‑to‑end from market maps and thesis work to diligence, deal memos, and post‑investment support. I’ve completed two formal VC training fellowships (HBCUvc and the Black Venture Capital Consortium) and now volunteer coach in those communities. Having seen venture from the LP perspective (as a pension fund analyst), corporate VC, independent VC, and the operator seat, I know what hiring teams look for and how candidates can demonstrate investor judgment. I translate that into practical coaching: sharpening your investor narrative, building theses and market maps, preparing take‑home memos, and running partner‑style mock interviews.
