In Reply To: I am posting this discussion to better understand what areas of VC would be "legal" for a practicing Muslim such as myself. The principle reason for me not to enter the world of investment banking has been because of my religious beliefs. Briefly, Islamic finance strictly prohibits interest-born transactions, shorting, leveraging based on margin, etc. How much are these activities involved in VC? Could anyone please provide me with possible areas in VC where I could contribute? I would appreciate any details you can provide. Thanks in advance.
