What do you suggest for any person thinking about working for a VC firm?
The best way to get a job at a VC is to work a great company in which that VC invested. Most VC's now prioritize operating experience as a required qualification for hiring partners. That being said, there are other ways to break into the business. Angelist is a great platform where, if you have the capital, you can even invest $1,000 per company in syndicates to prove that you have a good sense for what makes a successful investment
