In my life I’ve made many mistakes; of course I’ve had successes too, however I’ve only recently come to the phase of addressing limitations through others. Everyone has his/her limitations. Working on everyone's own limitations is for sure beneficial. Some people can just amaze me in their ability to grow beyond themselves perennially. For most of us, we cannot go beyond ourselves that easily. But there are also several other aspects of addressing limitations. One of which is to find people who are strong in areas that you are limited.
First, for me, it helps to get a partner that "能忽悠" or talk like G.W.Bush. LOL. I just cannot make myself sound interesting.
Second, I think it provides you critical leverage in start-up if you get a VC as bf. However, VC do not want entrepreneurs as their partners in general. That does not prohibit you from getting a relationship with a VC, but it does not give you the chance of growing something from nothing with your beloved partner.
In fact, I do not care whether she is a VC. I do not look at her position, job, or money. To me, the only important thing is to grow something from nothing with a beloved partner.
