Venture capitalists are interested in a particular kind of person who can provide them with a quick profit: young people who are naive enough to prioritize business over their own life. If you are willing to spend a few years sleeping under a desk, drinking Soylent, then you are a good candidate for venture capital. If you have your head on your shoulders, you probably want to start a lifestyle business, and that is no good for venture capital.

People here defend VC because they think they too will get rich quick, but they won't, and in the meantime they will be very stressed and nasty on the Internet. Welcome to HN.
