How many VCs does it take to change a light bulb

Feeling punchy in the middle of a long week, and taking a break to change a couple of light bulbs in my home office, I was wondering how many VCs it takes to change a light bulb.

Answers:
  1. VCs don't change light bulbs ... they invest in technology that makes bulbs obsolete.
  2. That's what management is for.
  3. That's what associates are for.
  4. Light bulbs? Let me tell you about my latest solar LED renewable blah blah deal.
Now, to make this a VC:VC post, how many philanthropists does it take to change a light bulb?
  1. Philanthropists don't change light bulbs ... they donate money so others can change light bulbs.
  2. That's what management is for.
  3. That's what interns are for.
  4. Light bulbs? Let me tell you about my latest solar LED renewable blah blah deal. [I guess that philanthropist earns his living as a VC]

You see - venture capitalists and venture cyclists are not that different!
