Reid Hoffman's $30M bet: Send partners, not cash, to startups
My experience with investor-provided talent has been very poor.Historically, the problem is that VCs tend to send "subject matter expert" type consultants who give advice. Startups need someone to do the work more than they need someone to give the advice. The VC-provided talent usually generated more work than they solved with questionable returns for the company.Unless Reid Hoffman has cracked the code of sending the right people to get work done, I'm suspicious.
