Guy's VCAT

The Venture Capital Aptitude Test, courtesy of Guy Kawasaki.

Venture capital is something to do at the end of your career, not the beginning. It should be your last job, not your first.
Here’s the bottom line: You should become a venture capitalist after you’ve had the shiitake kicked out of you. This will yield at least two positive results: First, you’ll stand out from the full-of-shiitake artists who entered the business when they were young. Second, you’ll really be able to help your portfolio companies—which is what venture capital should be all about. See you in ten or twenty years.
