VC’s are People Too!
I read Fred Wilson’s post ‘Understanding VCs’ with great interest recently. I agree that VCs are not heroes, I think they are real people. I have been lucky enough to meet & video interview many VCs & I have supported female VCs to have a higher profile. Jason Mendelsohn told me years ago that vcs are often treated like ‘the hot girl @the party’. I have been to enough conferences in the SF Bay area now to see how they get mobbed afterwards.
