Listen "Hans Tung - The Midas Touch"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s guest is Hans Tung, Managing Partner at Notable Capital and one of the most influential venture capitalists in the world. Hans has appeared on the Forbes Midas List for 13 straight years—landing in the top 10 five times—and has backed iconic companies including Airbnb, Coinbase, Slack, Affirm, Peloton, Poshmark, Xiaomi, Meituan, and Flipkart. In our conversation, Hans shares his journey from growing up in Taiwan and immigrating to California at 13, to navigating Wall Street, experiencing the tech boom in China, and ultimately shaping Silicon Valley as a global investor. We dive into what he looks for in founders, how he’s navigated being an Asian American leader in venture capital, and why conviction, resilience, and community matter now more than ever.
