So You Want to be a VC?
From Rob Go:
4. VC is about being an investor. I find that I tend to have these conversations more often with former operators or folks with a professional service background. VC seems attractive because you get to work with entrepreneurs, see companies across a broad set of sub-sectors, and can help multiple companies facing a variety of important decisions.

stevenf:
I joked to my wife, “what we just did with that video was straight out of an Apple commercial.” That’s the funny thing about Apple commercials, though. They’re not sci-fi pipe dreams selling you a promise of a future that might be. They really built that stuff, and you can do it right now.
