How do I become an early stage VC investor?
Next comes the problem
My job is as a corporate attorney working with startups and venture capital investors in Silicon Valley. I love my job. I get great pay and enjoy working with investors and founders. However, I don’t want my career to be forever tied to billable hours. I want to listen to a founder’s visions and invest in them. I don’t have a financial background, but is there a way I could pivot into early stage VC investing? Or am I delusional? Male, 20s
