“Be the VC founders truly want.”  Joshua Rahn, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Oceans, is a serial entrepreneur with two successful exits — including selling his first tech startup to Sony 550 Ventures. Later, as one of the first ten hires at Facebook’s New York office, he helped partners unlock the potential of its growing platform.
