Before we get started, I acknowledge that... •  Not all VCs are universally liked; •  They sacrifice less than founders and are often overpaid; •  Only 3% of VC Partners generate >3x in their careers, but almost all of them get rich no matter what; •  There is not nearly enough diversity in the VC business; It’s even worse than the already-bad tech industry; •  A lot of VCs would not succeed if they had to run a startup.
