It’s good to be the King – Mel Brooks
Me, to a VC buddy, imagining his office in Sand Hill: “Your big corner VC office with leather walls and barefoot admins and cowering entrepreneurs waiting their turn by the moat.”
His response: “A VC office looks more like a shoeshiner, polishing the shoes of entrepreneurs while they type vigorously away on blackberries and laptops.”
The reality, I figure, somewhere in the middle.
