John Chen is a General Partner @ Fika Ventures at Fika Ventures. He possess expertise in start ups, venture capital, cloud computing, strategy, research and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "John is the real deal. When I first met John over three years ago while interviewing for the Crunchbase CEO role, he had a very specific thesis for why the Crunchbase opportunity was exciting, and his enthusiasm and passion were one of the reasons I joined. We’ve worked closely together since, and he’s the youngest member of the Crunchbase board. What is most impressive about John is his commitment and follow through. Some investors just show up for board meetings every quarter to impart “advice”, but John is committed to adding real value by rolling up his sleeves and driving impact. John played a key role in making sure we had a successful first product launch. He not only offered invaluable feedback as a power user of Crunchbase that drove critical changes in our product before launch, but also stepped up to lead our focus groups in order to better understand what other users were thinking. When we were raising our Series B, John spent hours helping us refine our story and understand our churn data, which was instrumental in helping us close a successful $18M Series B fundraise for the company. Simply put, John is one of those investors that you can count on to help a company succeed on the highest level down to the brass tacks. I would highly recommend him to any entrepreneur looking for a thoughtful and dedicated investor."
