From lawyer to venture capitalist, this week’s guest is always looking to the future. An optimist with an interest in science fiction, he sees investing as an avenue to create a future in which his daughter will live. This week, you’ll hear Jake Chapman’s journey to co-founding Alpha Bridge Ventures. Despite being pseudo-rejected once for undergrad and another time for law school, Jake persisted and ended up with two degrees from UC Berkeley. His introduction to investing, however, came after law school. At the time, he was working at a firm that represented venture capital companies. It was there that he knew he wanted to “be the principal, not the agent,”and thus he left the firm to start his own business. After several attempts and with growing experience in the industry, Jake decided he wanted to build something big and institutional. Alpha Bridge Ventures was born in 2018 and has been his primary focus ever since. In this episode, Jake provides exclusive advice to founders and shares the stories and passions that made him who he is today. Whether or not you are an entrepreneur, this is a compelling and encouraging listen.
