About Jonathan L. Hua

I am an operator-investor currently leading investor relations, sustainability strategy, corporate strategy, and capital markets efforts for pre-IPO food tech unicorn and 2x CNBC Disruptor 50 company GrubMarket. As a member of the company's Leadership Team, I report directly to the CEO. I am also the co-host and producer of the Capitalist (Ad)Ventures podcast that explores the diversity of backgrounds, thoughts and opinions in the venture capital and startup communities, as well as a Venture Partner at Scrum Ventures.Previously, I was the "Deal Captain" on the Scrum Ventures US investment team, where I led 7 investments (with 1 exit) across enterprise SaaS, healthcare, deep tech, biotech, food and productivity. Before Scrum, I managed the award-winning THRIVE AgTech Accelerator at SVG Ventures. During my time leading THRIVE, we were recognized by AgFunder as the "Most Valuable Agrifood Tech Accelerator" in the world. I also hosted/emceed the THRIVE Challenge pitch competitions on global stages such as the Forbes AgTech Summit, PMA Fresh Summit and South By South West (SXSW) to audiences of thousands of people. Prior to THRIVE, I co-founded a few startups and a jazz band. Growing up, I spent a decade of time living in Japan and Taiwan and in my free time I love supporting and uplifting AAPI founders and investors. I mentor and advise startups in Gold House's acclaimed Gold Rush Accelerator, 500 Startups, and Alchemist Accelerator, among others. I am also a tennis nerd. During my career, I have been recognized by AgGrad as a "30 Under 30" in Entrepreneurship and was a speaker at the Forbes Under 30 Summit, while GrubMarket has been honored in CNBC's Disruptor 50 list. I have a BA in History from Rice University and an MBA from the Cornell University - Johnson Graduate School of Management.🎙️ Check out the latest episode of the Capitalist (Ad)Ventures podcast at anchor.fm/capitalistadventures or on your favorite podcasting platform✐ Follow my personal journey of wisdom at jonathanhua.medium.com⚡ My VC investments include Prodigy (acq. by Upstart - NASDAQ: UPST), Osso VR, GrubMarket, MindPortal, Sequential Skin, Pillar and mmhmm.
