Special Ed for VCs
from the I-didn't-know-you-could-go-to-shcool-for-that! dept
I've asked people in the know, how one becomes a VC. There in no real VC "track". Most people just fall into it one way or the other. But according to a recent Upside article, there is a VC school of sorts. The program only accepts 10 students from an applicant pool of 250. One interesting twist to this "school", you get paid to go, instead of paying.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
