He has invested in more than 300 startups in the past ten years through his fund, LAUNCH, and was Sequoia Capital’s first Scout. Additionally, Calacanis has authored a book titled "Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups—Timeless Advice from an Angel Investor Who Turned $100,000 into $100,000,000."

Calacanis has co-founded several tech firms, including Weblogs, Inc., a publishing company that was eventually sold to AOL. He also founded the web directory Mahalo and the startup Inside.com.

Maintaining a strong presence in the podcasting scene, Calacanis hosts the "This Week in Startups" and co-hosts the "All-In Podcast." Both podcasts have earned him recognition in the industry, with a mention in an article at Fortune.com titled "The Ultimate Guide to the Best Business Podcasts."
