Brutal honesty.
A woman. In the venture capital business. And she says exactly what she thinks, which makes for pretty entertaining reading:
Circling back to the example of being thought of as "intellectually déclassé", I cannot tell you how many times VCs I’ve dealt with have made snide comments when they see me at a bookstore in Palo Alto with an interesing title in hand or reading a book of “substance” at lunch . The most over-used comment I’ve heard is,” Oh, I thought all you admins read is Cosmopolitan.” Now, I’m not exactly the paragon of intellectual firepower..but how insulting is that comment?!?Next time one of you idiots sneers at me when I’m reading something that seems up to “your standards”, I will drop kick your ass and stomp on your head like a late harvest grape. Bring it on!!
Tip of the hat to Rick Segal.
