Plenty of nerds are angel investors. Generally VC's are big funds of other peoples money and their job, or the firms, is in large part selling their fund to investors - I think geeks generally want make to their own companies if they don't have money or invest in other companies if they do.
- NSX2 19y agoWhy does it have to be "nerds" ... why can't it be anybody that was a succesful entrepreneur and either got screwed by financial types or found a way to do it without financial types. Let's not alienate anybody. For all you know there might be some guy who made a fortune in something mundane and may want to invest in promising young people and he's reading this and thinking, "Oh, I see, they only want money from "nerds" with engineering degrees ... guess my money's not good enough for them." Personally I'd take money from anybody who made it any way other than as a result of hurting someone in the process and could care less about their "pedigree" or "nerd-factor" ... the fact that they may have made it without the advantages of a masters from MIT just tells me they have THAT MUCH MORE streetsmarts to compensate ...
