My experience with VC’s is limited to the East Coast. Their stated goals were radically different than these guys. The did NOT want to fund young people (meaning someone with less than 15 years of professional experience). Each and every one of them wanted validated business opportunities with proven technologies (exactly what was mocked at the start of this video). Perhaps this is why East Coast start-up investing pales to that on the West Coast. The corporate culture difference is painfully clear. This conversation was very interesting from my perspective.
