Career switch from Software Sales to Venture Capital?
Has anyone successfully made the switch from sales in technology to Business development at a VC/Private Equity firm, or heard of it being done? Follow up question, I would think an MBA at minimum would be required, but would a lack of formal Finance/Accounting education be a prohibitor? 5 YOE in Sales #repost

What role at VC firm?
Something along the lines of a senior sales executive, on the front lines hunting for startups in the growth phase, and adding to the firm’s portfolio. Curious what others have done and what roles are common.
I’m seeing Director/Manager of Business Development as a common role.
