My story is a bit crazy, so by all means stop reading now if you’re looking for a fairytale. Being a VC at 19 was never part of the plan. Fellow TechCrunch readers, I’m sure you can relate: in high school all of my friends would talk at lunch about last night’s Lakers game while all I wanted to talk about was Steve Jobs' MacWorld keynote. I was “that kid.”
