Apparently YC has an internal "bad investor list", as well as a huge network of easily accessible founders who've dealt with the majority of the investors in the area before. Presumably, us normal outsiders would have a tough time approaching this level of background checking. I wish something like this bad investor list could be done publicly too. As for interviewing VCs as the primary method, that must be a joke. They're professional salesmen and always act like your best friend when you're signing. VCs mostly get to where they are for 2 reasons - great deal flow or great personal sales technique, mostly the later.
