I've met the people who start as MBB consultants or bulge bracket bankers and then graduate Harvard/Wharton/Stanford MBA and finally land up in a VC job. No rat

I've met the people who start as MBB consultants or bulge bracket bankers and then graduate Harvard/Wharton/Stanford MBA and finally land up in a VC job. No rational person would want them within 10 miles of their business. Now someone who actually has legitimate tech industry experience OTOH (and there are some but not many VCs like that) might actually have useful insight. But ultimately it's the founder on the ground, who's taken the company from nil to something valuable, who is best positioned to make judgment calls. All that said, gratuitous outlays of OPM in bad faith are unacceptable no matter what the circumstances are.
