Inside the Silicon Valley Playbook

About VC Mastermind

By VCs, for VCs.

I’m Jacob Mullins, founder of VC Mastermind. After two decades in Silicon Valley — half as a startup founder, half as a venture investor — I realized something surprising: there’s endless advice for entrepreneurs, but almost none for the people who back them.

VC Mastermind exists to change that. It’s an invitation-only and paid membership where Managing Partners share hard-won lessons, solve real challenges, and build better firms — through the same kind of honest, insider conversations that built Silicon Valley itself.

Our members span every stage of the venture journey, from first-time fund managers to multi-fund veterans. What connects us is a shared belief that great investors never stop learning — and that by investing in each other, we invest in the future of venture.
