why i want to be a venture capitalist

the life of a venture capitalist is extremely alluring to me not because of the money but because it is modern day slavery and the vc's are the overseer with a great payoff at the end. The way that i understand the venture capital industry is it's all about vision and curating human capital to make a company succesful. The title of venture capitalist is one that no one really knows about and people fear them because..well they just don't know. I love that venture capital is all about investing in an idea and having enough mental fortitude to continue; it's the ultimate exercise in calculated risk that really get's my adrenaline going! I am probably sensationalizing things a bit, because i know for a fact that venture capital firms and the syndicates of general & limited partners within them are extremely high-talking and calculated people.

The infrastructure of the venture capital machine really begins with limited partner i.e. a wealthy investor group, angel investor, high net-worth individuals and then down the line are the general partners (vc's) they trust to have the vision to magnify they're money in a promising start-up; see infographic 2.There is a certain ring to saying venture capitalist,(it just sounds so mysterious and cool) maybe because of the venture that alludes to ad-venture which is defined as a journey a great experience into the unknown. When  a venture capitalist decides to aid an entrepreneurs start up company they are basically taking it from point a to point z with only a few valuation increasing milestones (vim) to gauge how a business is progressing along the journey; it is very much an unknown while you're in it.

I could never be an entrepreneur because i have no focus for anything (except everything) and i have to many interest to stay developing only one idea, but i do enjoy learning and outputing interesting ideas/products as a generalist, even if it isn't my idea/product. I am the type of person who brainstorms, I can't come with the first good idea to save my life but i can take someone else's idea, add on and stretch that idea in several different tangents. It is my long-held belief that everything that can be attained in this world to reach success is attributed to who you know and the same is especially true at a grander (more risky) scale in the world of venture capital. I say that to say this. The success of vc's is really based off the variety of people they have at their disposal to contribute their experience in various fields when building up a business to it's best & biggest potential.

finally the biggest reason i want to be a vc is because it is like being the ultimate judge for what is cool and what's not. venture capitalists are the foremost curators in today's economy because they bring businesses that have potential to spotlight and control the direction within a business's infrastructure; essentially they're the middle man you can't get rid of because every entrepreneur will hit a wall where a large sum of money to startup is critical to take the business to the next stage. It is not my intention to make the venture capitalist sound like a vulture capitalist and cynic, however the underlying purpose of this post is to explore the type of person i am and validate that i can be suited to do something well in this world. I will save the existential topic for another post but for now i will leave you with this diagram of how a venture capital firm works & aquires funds:
