So You Want to be a Venture Capitalist? My Q&A w/ Beth Seidenberg, KPCB

Venture capital is not for the faint of heart. The special sauce needed to make it includes experiential acumen, an entrepreneurial spirit and nitty-gritty-roll-up-your-sleeves action.

Beth Seidenberg’s name had come up a few times in recent months. A partner with the venerable Silicon Valley firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, she’s a no-nonsense lady who leverages her years spent as a physician and executive to identify the best companies to back as a partner at KPCB. Naturally, when I turned my attention to spotlighting a VC for an upcoming piece on Women2.0, I made a bee-line for Beth. Amidst her hectic schedule, she took time to answer my questions for our readers. Check out her insight and, as always, let me know what you think!
