For me it's the chance to work with small companies on the cutting edge rather than giant corporations that lag behind in so many areas

You get to see a lot - a friend of mine at VC in the Bay Area takes 5-10 meetings per day with companies and has learned a ton in less than 2 years. And she’s made a ton of money - aside from comp, a few companies her VC firm didn’t want to invest in she invested individually and already has had a few big wins...

SC1 - Awesome - is there a natural entry point after MBA? This sounds like my kind of work...I’ll have 3.5 years of consulting, 15 years prior experience to that (military and government) and an MBA. Or do you need previous investment banking experience to break into VC?

Latino vs Hispanic, thoughts?

I always preferred Hispanic since Latino seemed imprecise (e.g. technically French Canadian could be considered Latino).

Pros and cons of renting out a spare bedroom in my 2br apt given curent situation? Could really use the money, but afraid that roommate would not be responsible with COVID (i.e hanging with lots of people, not wearing mask in public etc.) I feel everyone will tell you they would be before they move in, but then what if that’s not the case?
