In Reply To: Hi guys, look forward to some advice: I'm currently into IT: experiences have been with pre-sales consulting (ebiz, CRM solutions etc.), and software project mgmt. I have also had some exposure in selling cutting edge technology to clients (hot off the labs). I'm yet to get an MBA (planning on one soon). I'm an engineer by education, and have no finance background. Post-MBA, I am keen to work in the tech commercialization space. I'm considering a post MBA experience in a 'high tech' firm - to get a more solid base in tech commercialization - and then my long-term goal being the VC space. Do you think this is a reasonable career path? I'm curious, since I have no finance background whatsoever. Do VCs exist with similar profiles, or are they all the wall street types? What might be the pitfalls, and what might be some of the advantages that I bring to the table? Also, I'm looking for a 'VC 101' to get a feel of the broad spectrum of this industry. Any pointers? (preferably, web based information sources pls) Your help shall be much appreciated.
Message: Hello My name is Larry Kronebusch and i run a gobally tuned venture capital connection service and i have just read your post and was wondering. Are you still in a position to help out some start-up companies and if so what exact experience / things are you able to offer because i have a wide variety of projects looking for top management / technical assistance and capital if that is being offered as well. I can get you almost any type of a project that you wish and any reasonable type of returns but please note that i too have a project that i showcase first, before all others and it offers the HIGHEST returns that you will ever run across. And i will be totally honest with you and mention here that this will be a MAJOR coup for whomever gets your attention so even the best things we need is for someone like yourself to serve on mutilple boards with of course you having the sole decison on which ones this would be. (And you can bring in some friends as well if you like as i know of atlest 6 companies who would use this type of assistance and ateast 25 of them who could use some angel capital up to $200k.) As well i can get you a mini casino for $3.0 mil in top resort areas with Ex Ceasars Palace managment assistance if you wish and we will assist in arranging the capital if requested to do so. up to 20 of them are to be developed and lessed out If you are able and willing to discuss this further please send me an email to action_ventures@lycos.com and i will send you out some information to review. Thank you kindly for your time. Larry
