<p>I guess they could be partners, but since CiaoRagazzi was the first person to respond to the other thread (and made some odd clarifications/questions/overall seemed really interested in it) it probably is just one guy under two accounts trolling. And to clarify, it’s venture capital firm, not venture capitalist firm, and that kind of error and vehement defense of it doesn’t exactly lend to your credibility (not to mention that a true venture capital firm usually has much more capital than 100-ish grand, and the bit about the yacht party is kind of overselling it). Venture capital refers to the money itself, venture capitalist is the occupation. For example, you say law firm, not lawyer firm.</p>
<p>If you somehow are legit (or for anyone reading this who has EC’s that outshine academics), then just make sure not to come off as self-righteous (for example your essay topic could come across as trying to be heroic or something).</p>
