Career paths for VC
What are possible career paths for VC investors beyond growth within their firms? What skills should VCs pick up if one wishes to switch to an operator role?
In my experience it is difficult. Even for consultants.
The skills and temperament you acquire as an analyst and as an exec operator role are very different.
Just knowing is not good enough for doing. Otherwise people would learn swimming / driving by correspondence.
Strategy, BD, fund raising role in startups (preferably port cos). Or move to consult/bank.
