In Reply To: What is a good major if I want ot get into VC? Is it helpful to have a background in MIS, or should I just focus on Finance and Accounting?
Message: YOU NEED TO HAVE A TECHNICAL BACKGROUND. it is very important. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, BIOLOGY AND THINGS LIKE THAT... TRUST ME.. THEN GET SOME INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE (OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND/OR INVESTMENT BANKING M&A) AFTER COLLEGE. tHEN GO TO BUISNESS SCHOOL PREFERABLY HBS, GSB,OR WHARTON.. AND MAYBE YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE. GOOD LUCK
