I think you have over-attributed what the make up of a VC firm essentially is, which rather undermines you claim to know what will be a good business to invest in. There's a lesson here: check your facts before making claims. Venture Capital, is at it's very heart all about private equity investment. These are companies that are made up of people that either manage wealth for other people/companies or are individuals with high net worth or a combination of the two. They are companies basically looking to make this money work, and in this context apart from administrative tasks, rely on their own experience as succesful business people to guide their decisions. In any event there is not much of a ladder to climb even if you made coffee there. So unless you've made a succesful start-up and have money and experience to offer, you are not going to get very far up the imaginary ladder.
