There are a lot of VCs out there. Some do well, some don't.

But remember that unlike the stock market, investing in a VC means locking up your money for 10 years. Slightly beating the market is not worth the liquidity loss, you have to do a good bit better.

Yeah I get it, assuming I did it (which is a big, big if, I don't really trust my judgement to pick winning companies or there being some legal jiggery pokery or bad luck that makes me get nothing or almost nothing back), it would be something I do in addition to buying crypto/gold/silver and putting money into a 401k.
