John Kim: Venture Vlogger Lesson hub Skillshare shines the spotlight on member John Kim, a venture capitalist turned vlogger. He hasn’t quite quit his day job, but The John Kim Show is his passion project. He lightens up the number-crunching side of entrepreneurship and explains the basics of VC in an easily digestible way. So easily, that even his (adorable) seven year old got the hang of it after his first vid. In his Skillshare interview, Kim also gets into how he launched his channel, so this one's a twofer.
"I'd like to reach people who are interested in venture capitalism and entrepreneurship -- people who might be familiar with the basic concepts but want to watch something fresh, with a new perspective. I’d love to use the channel to start some new conversations within the community."
