i should have posted these a while ago, but hey ... better late than never. i'm sure most of you have already read guy kawasaki's vcat (venture capital aptitude test). follow that up with will price's response to the test.
also read about kauffman fellow praveen sahay's how to on becoming a venture capitalist. granted there's a lot of obvious and generic points listed there, but its worth a read.
of course, search the web for anything related to becoming a vc, and you're sure to land on seth levine's how to. i know his 'step one' isn't very encouraging, but i guess that's the point - succeeding when there's no one cheering you on, or boosting your morale. "yeah you can do it" and "c'mon give it your best shot, and you'll make it!" ... that stuff is for college kids. this is vc land. and step one according to seth is "assume you will not be able to land a job as a venture capitalist"
gary rivlin has a write up on the same topic, but with a lot more real world examples.
