I am a college student attending Texas A&M University. The main answer that I am seeking is, what do I do to become a succesful venture capitalist? I am asking around, because I want to hear varying views and input, and would like to know what you all thought. I know a lot of people say that it is research, knowing your market, and many others, but their has got to be some way, in the early stages of your career, or in my case being in college, where you can gain a step on the competition. Anyting will be of service, whether it be classes to take, or certain paths to approach, it does not matter. I am an academically sound student that is majoring in business, minoring in math, and seeking an MBA and law degree after I graduate. Is their any specific schools I should try to attend that are admirable, or is it more you do what u want, so it technically does not matter where you attended? If it is to much of a hassle I understand fully, their is probably to many things for you all to worry about than a beginning college student. Thank you for your time."
