Investors can want whatever the heck
they want, but wanting is not getting.
I know plenty of people high up in
US business and academic research,
but those people and the VCs don't
know each other.
VCs and I don't know the same people.
Bluntly, the VCs are a bit below my
'circle' of business acquaintances.
In particular, the fraction of VCs
I would hire into my company is tiny,
so small to be nearly invisible. Why?
Because their technical qualifications
in information technology, etc. in a
word suck.
I mean, would you hire a VC? For what,
BizDev? What if a VC gave you
advice on how to invest your IRA?
How
many VCs can code, productively with today's
technology? How about be a system administrator
for a high end server farm or network?
"The single most important decision you will
ever make is with whom to do business."
