Venture Capitalists Blame MBAs for Industry Downturn


A NY Times article describing the woes of the Venture Capital Industry interviewed a couple of VC veterans who had this to say about MBAs:

“The biggest names in the industry are concerned about low returns and are blaming several factors: funds that have grown too large, the M.B.A.’s that have invaded the industry and older partners who have lost touch with what is new in technology.”

[They] also attribute the venture industry’s struggles in part to the business school graduates who now populate Sand Hill Road offices, taking the place of the entrepreneurs who first formed venture firms.”
