I am 48 and a General Partner at a VC fund. On the board of five tech companies. Founded three companies where I was CEO. Coded and still code every day since my Stanford CS days in the late 1980's.

Right now: Scala, Node/AngularJS, Ionic. Use GitHub, CircleCI, and deploy to Docker clusters. Use JIRA to stay sane.

Worked at Oracle, so traditional database (DBA level) and now use Couch + Mongo.

Do my own UI/UX. Can do Photoshop -> LESS/SASS/CSS. Know how to get Gulp to generate spritesheets :-)

Go to tech/programming conferences and meetups.

A full-stack unicorn. How's that for a VC?

Kirill, even two years after we met during TechStars Cloud mentoring, I still haven't met a hacker-VC that comes close to you. Awesome you are using Ionic.

I apologize but I don't get it. If you are a good VC, you should not have time to code every day :)

As promised, the next post in the series is up

Happy to help. There are a few more coming. Want to walk everyone through the whole process, especially what due diligence YOU have to do on your VCs. Enjoy.

I will make a point about financial projections... they are there to let the VC know how you think about money vs. setting concrete goals. As far as "where do you see yourself in five years" interview question... my favorite answer was always "firing you." But, seriously, having a vision of where this thing is going is a plus. And I want to see it from the very beginning.
