Why aren't you a Venture Capitalist?

Why aren't you a Venture Capitalist?

I want an answer.

Whenever I see people complaining about house prices or the cost of living only to find out they work a job outside of finance I am tempted to write this board off as hopeless. Seriously, why aren't you making a ton of money by working in Venture Capital?

Sure it means long hours. Sure it means you have to dress smartly and ditch the jeans and band shirts. Sure it means being able to form connections and establish a wide professional network of contacts.

But if you aren't willing to get up early, put on a suit, force a smile onto your face and look ahead to ten or eleven hours of rigorous planning, numerical work and high-stakes responsibility then why even call yourself a man? Why bother? Why not join your local anarchist group and cry about mean society it is to weak people like yourself?

because no one gave me a small loan of a million dollars.

>plan to have first child by age 32

I had a grandpa dad too.

Venture capital is elite speak for corporare welfare

How to?
Im a legit genius but a little autistic.
I did some private investing and made some money riding bitcoin, how do I become venture capitalist?

If you dont tell me, I will vote for the communist party next election!

Why do you lie on the internet? On Sup Forums of all places? The validation you seek can not be found here user.

Sorry, I'm not a Nazi. Maybe I would be if I spent all my time on here. But I have better things to do.

Then leave your small town. If you are under the age of 35 and don't live in a major city, or a large one at least, then you are basically admitting you are incapable or unwilling to work hard to get ahead in life.

Peoples like you is prime example why West is collapsing.

I definitely recommend working hard in school, and if your parents can afford it (which they should) encourage them to send you to a private school where classes are smaller and teachers are more likely to guide you and take a personal interest in your success. Then study hard at a top university, earn top grades, do some internships and get an entry-level / graduate job in a big city. Once there you'll have to work long hours and make sure to stand out from your peers by staying late, taking on as much responsibility as you can and learning as wide a range of skills as you can. Having done that the time will come when you are tired of having to answer to several levels of upper management, at which point you can either seek promotion in your workplace or simply join another firm where the management structure allows you to be granted more responsibility and so forth. It's all about approaching life with the right mentality from an early age, and not allowing yourself to get sidetracked by drugs, wild parties, childish pursuits of artistic ambitions and so forth. Keep your eyes on the prize, establishing a long time goal and work as hard as you can every day to get there.

Fucking mong
>how can you call yourself a man
You work long hours doing nothing worthwhile to yourself or your community, hoarding money or spending frivolously, you have only skills in abstraction not the real world.
You would die in the woods, you cannot live off the land, you have to pay for your life, you do not live for free, you a fraud to call yourself a man

>Why aren't you a Venture Capitalist?

Because I lack the requisite funds.

>You would die in the woods

Well then its lucky that I don't live in the woods, and that I have no interest doing so, isn't it. I do apologize that I am not a caveman or that I don't admire the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Fortunately however I live in a society which will never revert to that kind of barbaric mode of living, and as a result I can use my intelligent to make sure I sit near the top of the hierarchy while resentful, violent individuals like yourself spew your hate at the bottom.

Thanks for your explanation.
Im a little older than you think I am, and I have always worked hard in school like you said (didnt really have to work hard, but did the highest level of education)

Im a med student, I am currently investigating possible medication for rare genetic disorders that can easily be treated with the latest technology. Like enzyme deficiencies and stuff.
Martin Shkreli (martyr) is my personal hero.

Is this a good way to go? Also, how does one get into contact with investors? Literally just start a kickstarter?

Because I'm a good human being not some greedy cockroach wearing a human suit.

I read that in a cocky posh British accent. Hilarious.

OP is a faggot, I sat on my ass and made millions last year because unlike OP I am a real venture capitalist and not some cucky brown-nose who sucks Jew did for a lifestyle, also I'm a Nazi, eat my shit.

A little uranium dropped from 10 km above or a solar storm and your little world will turn upside down. You will have no place to stay and no food to eat. Your money is useless. You are useless.

>only nuclear or solar armageddon can harm the ventura capitalist
Your point again?

What business are you in?
Or is that a retarded question because the venture capitalist just seizes opportunity wherever he finds it?

I am going to stard my fund soon based on Graham and Dodd investing which is completely unknown.
I am unironically going to be one of the richest men in my country

>completely unknown.
in the netherlands I mean. I the u.s. it's obviously quite big. Seth Klarman for example

Your existence is artificial. We will see who laughs last.

Sounds like an interesting line of work. Kickstarter is for people who lack connections or business acumen. I recommend saving up a lot of money, producing a detailed growth strategy (i.e. look at the market, competitors etc) then present this to an venture capital investor to see if he thinks you're worth the financial support he can offer.

The fact you conflate virtue and poverty is exactly the reason so many people privately adore the fact they are failures in life, because they judge their failure to be evidence of their so-called goodness.

>earned ~£96,000 in 2017
>planning to buy first flat in London soon
>this is the kind of mind underpinning the world's financial ecology

no wonder we're in such a fucking mess

>We will see who laughs last.
Stop this larping.
Even in Fallout 4 conditions the smart will rule the wasteland anyway.

Dp you know how to make gunpowder? concrete? forge steel?
What are you going to do slap rocks with a stick until iron falls out?

Are you actually this illiterate in the art of survival? You don't use gunpowder, you make yourself a bow (and yes I know how to make and use them) and forging steel? are you kidding me? you just put it into a furnace in a ceramic vessel. You haven't seen a forest in your entire life have you?

Genuine question, what do people like you get out of making shit up on the internet?

>you make yourself a bow
Please do that.
Im looking forward blowing your entire family away with my cannon from 1 mile away.

Woodmanship is one of the most patrician hobbies, dont LARP by thinking its anything more than that.

OP is legit, faggot.

Nobody gives a shit about some finance wagecuck job when we have crypto.

Some neckbeards probably get lucky and hit the next bitcoin early so they earn more in one year than your entire life. While you try to shill pajeetcoins icos after getting into crypto late, they will be driving lambos.

>implying you weren't handed the initial capital to begin with

t. Old money family who live in Knightsbridge

Why do you think that?

Can't use a cannon if you're dying of radiation poisoning because you were near the blast (city) and can't get your hands on your daily dose of Antirad™ anymore because your precious capitalism just crumbled to the ground.

You obviously have no idea how venture capital works. Nowhere have I implied that I am an independent investor. I work for a reputable investment company.

Troll or future content of a gas chamber? Does not matter, gas chamber it is.

>>earned ~£96,000 in 2017

Is this supposed to be impressive? For all the risk, if you aren't banging expensive hooker on your own private yacht I'd say you are a try-hard wasting his time.

>work for
Desu, you're a wageslave?

Also, notice my post, senpai:

> 27 in London working in finance
> only earning £96k

lmao at you. I hope you excluded bonuses. An entry level programmer at a decent London HFT trading firm is getting 90 inc bonuses straight out of univ

This is such a retarded argument. A nuclear bomb or a solar storm would turn everyone's world upside down unless you live in a bomb shelter 24/7 and never interact with the outside world.

I envy this kind of lifestyle sometimes. I dropped out of college and have no education so I'm relegated to doing IT line work and freelance web dev.

>be me
>IT consultant
>understand the difference (and reasoning) for the difference between my pay and what client pays my employer
>F*** that
>go out on my own
>make 150.000 EUR/year average

that was me 10 years ago. Probably have more Hermes ties in my wardrobe then I can remember..

What is like, being a normie?

What madman would nuke farmland? I think I'm pretty safe.

Enjoy the tripwires and dead falls on the way. I wouldn't be surprised if my first snare puts you into such a panic you chew off the limb.
>As opposed to just undoing the snare and freeing yourself.

A nuclear bomb doesn't just affect those in the blast radius. There's fallout and the economic and political repercussions that follow.

You're obviously a rube who's content watching the grass grow but most people's lives would be seriously adversely affected by a nuclear strike even if it took place in a neighbouring country.

yes, become a turbo jew

>Enjoy the tripwires
Enjoy accidentally cutting yourself while setting up the tripwire and dying 2 days later because you dont know how to make antibiotics.

Then I walk in to bang your wife and kids (if they're hot, and yes I said kids)

At the risk of sounding bitter or unpleasant, which is genuinely not my goal, its far too early for you to label yourself as a venture capitalist, or really anything besides a young gentleman who has saved a bit of cash and looking to make his first investment.

You have done relatively ok for yourself but dont brag until you're actually in a position to brag.

Good luck with your first investment.

I was. It sucked. I made a lot of money (not really a lot but I came in fast) but it sucked.

fucking pathetic. I make more than that with crypto I'm almost a decade younger, hardcore christian/minimalist. Personally give thousands to 3rd world towns. Your degeneracy disgusts me.

>most people's lives
Yep. All of you wastes of space will die. If you are actually so pathetic that you can't live off the land you deserve no better. And me? I'll have to withstand some levels of radiation from rain but I live nowhere near a large city so I'm not in direct danger. Water can be filtered. I will survive unlike you.

You aren't a Venture Capitalist. You work for a Venture Capitalist. Also you sound like a Poo immigrant.

>decade younger
MOOOODDSS

>96k

Thats all user?

>he's proud of living like a third worlder
Yeah dude. Let's all live off the land. Fuck technology and medecine and all that shit. Let's all just die at the age of 40.

Why are you even on the internet? That's an evil liberal technocratic invention. I don't think that Odin would approve.

Id rather kill myself. What a faggy prison of a life.

Lads, search Amazon FBA and Dropshipping. Change your life.

This all sounds horribly miserable to me - the people who are programmed like this are the types who are never satisfied or contented with anything

>Fuck technology and medecine and all that shit. Let's all just die at the age of 40.
You have no idea how satisfying that truly sounds.

It sounds about spot on in my books. The ridiculous British tax rates along with the high cost of living in London make it difficult to save a lot of money.

As he rises in his career it will be easier, but the UK business culture is uniquely good at keeping poor people poor.

>search Amazon FBA and Dropshipping. Change your life
Before we search, give us a brief explanation why you into FBA Dropship

Out of interest, how much did you start on and at what age?

Eh, might as well argue with retards while I tend to my online business. Living in the country doesn't mean you have to be dumb. I read a lot and I bet I know a lot more about science and technology than you. Maybe if you weren't a money grubbing jew you could do the same? Or maybe you are just too stupid to think outside of the box.

>give thousands to 3rd world towns

You mean to the warlords and slave traders who own those towns right?

>Living in the country doesn't mean you have to be dumb
This is true. But it also means you dont have to live in the city to be degenerate.

>£96,000

I make more as a college dropout coding and trading a few shitcoins lmao. Probably don't have to pay eleventy billion percent tax on it either

What's with all these "why aren't you [insert faggy job with underwhelming benefits]" threads? Why aren't you a marine? Why aren't you a VC? What's next "Why aren't you a walmart greeter" brag thread? Fucking ban people for these threads unless they legit make half a mil or something worth bragging about.

>I make more as a college dropout coding and trading a few shitcoins
How long will that last though?
What happens theday shitcoins crash whilst your busy jacking off to trap porn?
What happens when the poos make it unprofitable to code anymore?

Venture capitalist?
Legalise the Weed

>legalise the weed
Bureaucracy though

>asks people why they're not a venture capitalist
>Isn't actually a venture capitalist, himself

The implication was that you had capital of your own that you invested.

Why should I be satisfied with anything? Contentment breeds complacency and complacency breeds despair. Every time I reach a short-term goal I immediately ask "what now?" rather than "that'll do". I am always improving, demanding more of myself and of others, reaching for higher achievements, faster growth, more and more progress. And it's exactly this kind of mindset that has made my society the amazing place it is.

>Contentment breeds complacency
Wrong, contentment breeds balance.

I don't think you're dumb because you live in the country. I think you're dumb because of the things you say.

I'm not a money grubbing jew. I live in a small studio flat in London and I make just enough to get by.

> get up early, put on a suit, force a smile onto your face and look ahead to ten or eleven hours of rigorous planning, numerical work and high-stakes responsibility then why even call yourself a man?
That seems so far removed from what it means to be a man it's not even funny.

The leaf speaks the truth.
No man is a slave to the jew.

And you are proud of that? I probably make more than you from my online business which is a side job I do from home. Your life is a failure. Stop embarrassing yourself already.

>2017
>not making over $750,000 per year capitalizing on skilled Labour and entrepreneurship

wewlad.txt

Kek

I never said I was proud of it. My life is a work in progress.

I'm giving myself the best chance to succeed by living in a big city. You on the other hand have resigned yourself to failure. Deep down you probably know that you wouldn't make it in the city so you've given up. Or maybe you tried and failed? Which is it?

>No man is a slave to the jew.
Selling out to jews is literally what made Britain great.
Britain would have lost the Napoleonic wars without Rothschild shekels, literally setting the stage for our worldwide monetary enslavement.

Because working for a private equity firm or a quantitative hedge fund like Two Sigma or Renaissance is a much better route. Oh wait that actually requires you to understand more than Calc 1! Also 96,000 / year whether that's before or after taxes is fucking nothing for a 27 year old in finance. I make more than that in tech and I'm younger than you.

kek. don't forget his dad's connections to every politician, banker and builder in NYC. and don't forget the prime lines of credit you have access to when you [your dad] has $200m in real estate collateral AND you're going to inherit $100m when he croaks

For fucks sake! Are you still salty that Trump won?
>not my president

>at which point you can either seek promotion in your workplace or simply join another firm where the management structure allows you to be granted more responsibility

I set up my own business and I’m convinced that I wouldn’t even have a fraction of the wealth and satisfaction if I would have chosen the path you suggested

Also I could never understand how you could put in that much effort for someone else’s firm, if you are good at what you are doing, you will always be better off being your own boss than slaving yourself away for someone else’s profit

Being a man means waking before 6:30am every morning. It means working out in the early morning. It means shaving and putting on a tailored suit, getting in your reliable car or on public transport if that is more efficient, and making your way to your office. It means being able to shake hands with a man worth several million pounds / dollars and to look him in the eye and have him acknowledge you and respect you as a reliable, dependable, hard-working fellow capitalist. It means displaying to the men around you that despite your composed, stoic exterior you have a very funny sense of humour but also that you understand that the world is no picnic, and that in fact it is an arena for ruthless, merciless competition between you, and that although today you may be workmates tomorrow you may very well be attempting to do everything it takes to secure a deal that they too are interested in. It means having social skills, mathematical skills, an understanding of historical facts and periods, an appreciation for literature and artistic heritage, a grasp of aesthetics, a profound and relentless sense of self-awareness, a business acumen so well-developed that you know a bad deal when you see one and you also can spot a flaw or weakness in an individual or in a market which you can take advantage of and profit from. It means securing a romantic and sexual partner who is of good genetic stock, who is chaste or at least relatively inexperienced and who yearns to give birth to however many high-IQ children you want to sire. It means being wealthy but not flashy, confident but not arrogant, assertive but not tyrannous, powerful but not sustained by the attainment of power alone. It means working until at least 7pm every weekday and forming connections in various industries. It means having the money to put your kids in the best schools. It means being bold enough to place the market ahead of the "nation" or "society". It means being a capital-m Man.

cool pasta bro

lol nice larp

Save your attempts at psychology for your fellow city sheep. Cities are the peak of degeneracy and you obviously don't want to listen to reason so don't go crying to make when your kid starts doing porn or when your wife gets run over by a truck of peace. Meanwhile I have the same opportunities and much more enjoyable life here in the country.

Holy shit this is the most cringe post I've seen in the past week. Being a man is pretty subjective and dependent on culture and how your society defines masculinity. Being a capitalist also doesn't mean shaking hands and acting respectful to make nice with other random people in finance. It means acquiring wealth through any means necessary. It means acquiring a British mining company with operations in the DRC and hiring a private military company to ruthlessly guard your mining operations in order to maximize efficiency and your profits. It means joining an international policy group and shaking hands with a NSC member in order to convince them that executing a covert operation to overthrow a socialist government is "necessary" for US national security, while you make sure to secure all profitable state owned industries as soon as the state is overthrown. You work in venture capital though so you probably just invest in shitty tech startups that get acquired for under a hundred million dollars.

man, i would open a barbeque restaurant near the amputation ward of the local hospital

So many shill threads...

Because I'm a project manager on 170,000 at 31. I own two houses. I work maybe.. 3 hours per day? If I'm not anywhere special I wear jeans and go to the gym.

Your job sounds annoying

Graham said on his death bed that he himself was no longer a fan of complex analysis of stocks using his own methods. Tldr. Too much effort and the s&p 500 often outstrips any of it

>170,000 new zealandian dollars is less than 80,000 euro

not criticizing btw it's a very respectable wage

I just didn't realise there was such a huge disparity.

>So many shill threads...
Is this thread interrupting your blacked.com shitposting?

Somebody with half a brain needs to get the dirty work done.

You can’t sit in an office and expect a bunch of half educated, mostly third world shitheads to operate on their own and actually perform at a level that generates profit.

Don’t get me wrong. Putting on a nice suit, hustling deals, taking three beer lunches, and banging all the office bitches is fucking great bro. I’ve been there.

But somebody has to get into the field and make sure the money is getting made.

My suit for the last ten years has been a coverall, steel toed boots and a hard hat. Out in the heat and cold, busting ass and getting operations rolling. I don’t need to go to the gym, my work is my fitness program.

I haven’t made less than $150K in a long time.

Granted I’ve got the hands on skills and the relevant university degree to go with it.

I do miss all that pussy

Don’t ignore the man who keeps the money generator running.

Product must be sold, inventory kept up, production levels met...

It takes a good man to make that happen as well
