Why though? I would like my government to be open to at least listening to lots of different ideas and applying an investment mindset to them. You're right, there is little operational experience that comes with being a VC. But you dont need that to initiate groundbreaking projects. Hoover didn't pour concrete at the Hoover Dam. Kennedy didn't know the rocket equation.

Operational experience is not my concern.

This is my concern. I don't trust people in the VC industry to have a healthy concept of an investment mindset.

Understood. Would like to hear your thoughts on why VC does not have a healthy investment philosophy.
