Benchmark is almost all non operators, and is one of the most ballerest of VC funds.

Instinctively I think "should be operators", but when I look at the backgrounds of the VCs I like the best, a lot of them were not operators, or were operators of pretty bullshit businesses in comparison to their VC careers.

Offtopic, but I am wondering why you are overloading the word 'operator' in such a confusing fashion.

"Operator" vs. investor/"financial executive"/MBA/etc. is the usual terminology in this particular discussion.
