I don't think a 20-year old, fresh out of college, wants to become a VC. So that particular advice was more targeted at mid-level managers, with some cash in the bank, and the desire to become a VC. Do you know any VC who is less than 30?

Speaking personally, this probably has to do more with resources (money, experience, people) and less with desire.

Agreed. I know several young finance guys that would all like to get into VC one day, but they know that without a founder background they need to cut their teeth in banking/dealmaking before moving over. But there is definitely a desire.
