By VCs, for VCs.

I'm Jacob Mullins. After two decades in Silicon Valley — half as a startup founder, half as a venture investor — I noticed something that surprised me: there's endless advice for entrepreneurs, but almost none for the people who back them.

VC Mastermind exists to change that. It's a podcast and media platform built for the practitioners — GPs, emerging managers, and the operators building the firms behind the firms. Real conversations about the decisions that actually shape a fund: how you raise, how you build your team, how you drive returns, and how you build something that lasts.

Our guests and listeners span every stage of the venture journey, from first-time fund managers to multi-fund veterans. What connects them is a belief that great investors never stop learning — and that the most useful knowledge in this industry still travels person to person, conversation to conversation.
