Your audience is, bar none, the best!

Legible.vc partnered with Venture5 Media on a two-part virtual event series. The series was an excellent opportunity to tap into our ideal audience, venture capital investors.

We had more than 60 VC investors attend, with great audience participation and positive feedback from participants.

Being part of the Venture5 Media community enhanced our visibility and brand development in the venture capital landscape.

Building a strong team and culture is a top priority for us at Catalyst and we have enjoyed working with John and his team over the years to tap into their unparalleled network of VC and growth equity candidates.

Their process is easy to navigate and saves us time, and we can always trust that we are in good hands.

We look forward to working with John’s team as we continue to grow our team in the future.

My group had such great, genuine conversation. I also was able to connect with a fund I had been dying to on a deal we are thinking about and he was immensely helpful. So thank you for getting us both in the room together and giving us all a reason to celebrate!

John – your newsletters from 2024 have been one of the top sources of information I rely on each week. It has been so helpful as a Founder of an AI-enabled software firm to have situational awareness on what VC’s have active funds (and which ones do not!), as well as help me gain a better understanding of their investment thesis. It is one of the highlights of my weekly LinkedIn experience. Cannot wait to read more of your insights in 2025!

I just accepted an offer to do Technology Growth investing/late stage venture in NYC. I couldn’t have done it without your help!

I was already running a VC when I hired someone who found out about the job from John Gannon’s blog. Now I read John’s newsletter regularly for curated thinking on how to do VC better.

We received a ton of interest from highly qualified people. Probably the strongest ROI we’ve ever had.

As I started to explore transitioning into venture capital, John was the first person I reached out to for guidance on how to approach the process and secure a job in VC.

His newsletter and other resources have proven to be invaluable resources and I’d highly recommend them to anyone that’s considering a career in VC!

The VC Careers newsletter has been a one of a kind resource for a generation of sharp, motivated aspiring investors to learn the ropes and break into the notoriously challenging venture capital industry.

Keep up the great work!

I came across your blog while doing research on the DC VC ecosystem. Love all the educational content, by the way! As a founder who’s beginning to raise our Pre-Seed/Seed round, it’s super helpful to have a knowledge base.

If you are exploring VC space, this is a great starting point.

Becoming a VC used to be as mysterious sounding as saying you wanted to be a Hollywood producer or something along those lines. That changed when John started writing about and sharing resources with the world. I can’t think of anyone who has helped more people unpack and understand the professional journey in VC more than he has.

As I look to hire employee #1 at @TwentySevenVC, @johnmgannon’s salary survey has come in handy to understand market benchmarks.

We’ve advertised with many different newsletters, and Venture5 Media’s delivered more sales ready, qualified leads than any other.

This was despite the fact that most other newsletters had subscriber counts many times higher than Venture5 Media’s.

We’re looking forward to continuing to work with Venture5 Media, given how aligned their audience is with our ideal customer profile.

Because of your survey I successfully negotiated a Senior Associate salary that was fair and high enough for me to justify me leaving my grueling big law job. Without your blog, I really had no way of negotiating with any good proof and would’ve been stuck in big law. Thank you! You have actually changed my life!

You’ll be happy to know a huge percent of my circle are big fans of your newsletters because they all texted me when they saw the video.

I found the salary reports to be invaluable.

Since the industry is so opaque, finding comps would’ve been almost impossible if it wasn’t for the data you put together.
