Ep 003 - Jonathan Chang, Founder of Daydream Ventures

How do you differentiate yourself when applying to roles in Venture Capital? 🗣

On this episode of “New to Venture”, I caught up with one of the rising stars in VC, Jonathan Chang. About a year and a half ago, I remember watching Jonathan’s Tiktoks to prepare for my VC interviews! Jonathan has become a celebrity amongst the aspiring VCs of Gen Z. I can’t think of anyone better to have on my podcast about being new to venture capital!

Here are just a few of his crazy accomplishments:

- One of the first VC Tiktokers, now with over 11.3k followers 🤳

- Silicon Valley Business Journal’s Inno under 25 🤩

- Hosted countless events with Brex as an XIR 🎉

- Founder of GenZscouts 💫

- Creator of the SF IRL (a newsletter for top tech/startups/VC events in SF) 🎟️

- Angel investor in 10+ startups📈

In this episode, we share stories about VC job recruiting, the power of a strong network, and the important qualities of a young VC!
