Jonathan Shulkin built his career on an accounting foundation, moving from accounting major to COO and president roles across MG Capital portfolio companies—experience significant enough that UT Austin named its accounting department after him—and he now applies that same operating focus at Valor Equity Partners, where he sits on every investment committee, runs the Scale, Finance, and People teams, and holds board seats at food and retail tech companies like Gopuff, Misfits Market, Fooda, Wow Bao, and Atmosphere. Outside the firm, he co-founded Prosper Chicago and chaired the Board of Trustees of the Lycée Français de Chicago, extending his interest in building lasting institutions beyond venture investing.
