Why VCs are good for your career
Don't overlook the venture capitalist community as you look to grow your career. And don't forget that it's a two way street: "CIOs have much to offer a VC in need of customer feedback on the product potential of their portfolio companies," says Martha Heller, managing director of the IT Leadership Practice at ZRG. From a CIO's standpoint, VCs can be great resources when it comes to learning about technology, gaining board of directors experience and getting access to potential startup general manager roles. It also gives CIOs a great opportunity to explore a career as a VC. But best of all, it keeps CIOs close to the money, should they be interested in funding a new business idea or potential technology breakthrough.
