Part of the problem is that investors might understand the businesses they invest in from 30,000 feet, but they frequently have no idea how their portfolio companies are actually run. If some of them went undercover and applied for jobs at their own portfolio companies, they'd probably have a different perspective about the "talent shortage."

They'd probably get rejected for jobs at their own portfolio companies. That's how out of whack hiring is.

Not sure why you're down voted, graduation year alone would get all VCs fall at the first reading of their CVs.

Yes. As a job search candidate myself, I see your point. It was not as it used to be before. Maybe something to do with a lot more competition and focus on competitive programming in interviews may be?
