What our subscribers say...

John’s Blog is the first resource I recommend to both aspiring VCs and friends already working in the industry.

The newsletter is how I learned about an opening for my role at H/L Ventures.

3 years later at the firm and it’s still the first place I’d recommend looking for a VC gig.

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.

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

Fantastic sessions at the V5 Summit this week! It was an honor to speak in front of so many leading VCs and hear their perspectives on how the AI ecosystem is evolving. It was fascinating to see how VCs are leveraging AI in their own workflows. Thank you John Gannon and Stephanie Simon for the invitation!

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

Fascinating data from John Gannon’s team on VC salaries!

Venture5 Media’s Moves in VC Dinner for SF Tech Week was a great success! We were happy to attend as sponsors and had many engaging conversations. The creative branding helped keep us top of mind through the event. Looking forward to more events from Venture5 Media in the future.

Thank you for having me! You guys did an amazing job. This was a blast, looking forward to what you guys build next!

John is the industry’s standard bearer for connecting high quality venture candidates with exciting venture opportunities.

We’ve really appreciated working with him and his team!

Last week I had the honor of being on a panel for the premier VC conference at the V5 Summit. Stephanie Simon & John Gannon thank you for organizing an amazing event!

Thanks for hosting a fantastic event and supporting emerging managers

We definitely saw an uptick this week and got some great candidates, several who mentioned Venture5 Media’s post specifically.

Long time reader, first time responder!
Re: connecting readers. I like it. Easiest & most standard approach is to simply create a Slack group. The why feels pretty obvious: We’re all reading your newsletter for very similar reasons: We’re passionate about VCs & startups & more specifically transforming or building our careers in venture capital. I’m a 20 year startup CFO, including spending the last 12 years as a fractional CFO/COO working primarily w/pre-seed to Series B startups, and I’ve spent considerable time thinking about about how I’d break in to VC, researching, reading, and networking. Within the last year, I’ve finally narrowed my focus to venture studios b/c I love building companies at the earliest stages. The more I can connect w/like-minded folks that have either already joined a fund or are brainstorming ways of possibly spinning up a fund or studio, the better!

One of the most valuable resources for me over the last few years has been John Gannon’s VC newsletter. It is the de-facto source for VC salaries, jobs, frameworks and more. I’m hiring a new Partner and Principal and so thankful for John’s VC Newsletter.

Literally the first resource that was put in front of me when I started my career switch to VC was your blog.

I really do have to thank you on the mentorship and advancement you’ve made for the industry.

Like many an exited founder, I considered going into VC as a next step. Venture5’s VC Careers content helped me understand what that really entailed, and ultimately I decided that being a VC was not for me. As I work to build my next company, and run cofounder matching events, the insights of their other publications continue to provide me with regular differentiated insights.

I thought it was a really well planned and presented webinar. Better than most I’ve attended.

There’s tons of materials out there about how to recruit for VC — podcasts, chatting with folks, blogs, etc. While venture might seem like a small asset class, there’s also alot of nuances that are hard to know being an outsider. What this course brings is clarity and focus as to what really matters. I’d recommend this for anyone who is recruiting for a venture role.
