No. I think it's pointing out the disconnect between the realities for VCs vs. engineers who put the whole thing together.
Irony is, I just quit work to finish my degree, so as to become an active member of the VC squad...
I think that my 15 years of technical knowledge, combined with a managerial economics degree (i.e., a BS in finance with NO fluff, just more quantitative analysis), should qualify me to be effective in just such a role.
Not because I want to make a stink-pot of money (I do), but because I can spot value when I see it. I may not be the most original thinker in the world, but I know a good thing when I see it. Unlike most banker/finance/accounting types...
FWIW.
