I would kill to do something like this. VCs need someone in the firm that's a product/engineering guy to really connect with entrepreneurs for that first chat. Something akin to the EIR role is probably the best place for them to be. Kevin Hale describes how that role might work after a constant flow of crappy VC interns who don't understand their product calling them about Wufoo:

"I've yet to wait for a VC to come and talk to me and have an idea, at the table and say, 'Look. I've looked at your business. I've looked at what you guys've done. Have you thought about these?' Right? I don't hear that at all. I don't understand. That's not how I would approach having someone be excited about wanting to be a partner in business."
