Do Young Venture Capitalists Have an Advantage?
- pclark 17y agowhat are some VC firms with "young" VCs?
- rjett 17y agoThe premise of this article is rather superficial. You could just as easily argue that firms with older partners know the best investments because they have been around longer. To reduce the success of a firm down to age seems rather dumb.
- olefoo 17y agoIt would be interesting to see a truly data-driven study of VC decisionmaking outcomes. Do dumb VC's (of less than average intelligence or academic performance) do better? How does a VC's educational background affect their success rate? Unfortunately we will never be able to ask these questions of a high-quality dataset, since only funds with better than average performance will want to participate and much of the data is not public record.
