Looking for 20-something Associate/Analyst Level VC Bloggers
Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at 09:53PM by Charlie O'Donnell I've been talking to a counterpart up in Boston and we're throwing around the idea of collaborating on a "Venture Blog, Jr." blog... Lots of people ask me how to break into the VC world, so we thought it would be interesting to publish our thoughts about life in the bottom rung of a really interesting ladder is like. We were thinking that we could have representatives from NYC, Boston, the Valley, and perhaps an out of the way spot less known for venture. If anyone is interested, please let me know. We're looking for analysts in their 20's who haven't founded multimillion dollar companies quite yet. Pre-MBA's preferred.

I just started a Private Equity firm in Orlando, Florida. We have about 5 angels / LPs and are looking to invest around 1.6 Million into a 10% income producing property/development deal.
I have NO money in my bank account; but if this deal works as planned, I will have a 20% equity position in a property that will be worth 3-5 Million after it's been fully developed (in 3-5 years).
I'm 27 years old, I don't have an MBA and don't think I need one. Every day I read your blog, Fred Wilson's blog, Brad Feld's blog and a few others. Every night I watch videos from the Stanford, Kellogg, MIT, Harvard business school spreakers series. Why should I pay big money for an MBA when the best minds in business talk to me for an hour each night for free.
Also, if I can't find the right questions to ask; or the right answers online; how is being baby fed the right answers at a Business School going to prepare me for the jungle outside?
No, I'll save my money, surf the internet for questions and try my best to answer them. I plan to ask everyone I know for help. And one day, my blog (josedwyer.blogs.com) may look like Fred, Brad and your blog's do and we might even be friends. Keep doing what your doing.
Peace.
