In venture capital, money and ambition may open doors, but trust determines who gets to stay in the room. In Your Emergency Contact: Why Trust Drives Venture Capital Success, Jonathan Hung shares hard-earned lessons from investing in more than 250 companies and 50 funds.

This book offers a candid perspective on how founders, investors, and limited partners build lasting value through relationships, not just returns.

  • Why trust outperforms capital in the long run
  • How to build credibility with investors and partners
  • What LPs really expect after committing capital
  • How entrepreneurs can avoid the most common mistakes early in their journey

Practical, transparent, and deeply human, Your Emergency Contact is an essential guide for founders, aspiring VCs, LPs, and students of entrepreneurship who want to understand what truly drives success.
