I don't know. I expect it will take 5-10 years to get a return in many cases. I think this pays vast dividends outside of dollars: I get connections, notoriety, experience, exposure, and so on. I know about a lot of what's going on in the valley right now, for example. I expect it will be better than investing in venture funds, but not by much. (I do this too.)
