Who Wants To Be George Zachary?s Apprentice?

I was recently at on offsite with my fellow partners at Charles River Ventures, and the idea came up that I should find someone who could be the next George Zachary. I?ve done really well in my 17-year career as a venture capitalist, returning more than $1 billion of investor gains through successes like Yammer, Millennial Media, Shutterfly and Twitter. My partners want to keep that going. I am 46 now, and I get 50 pitches a day, half of those referred by people I know. I am looking for leverage to meet more of these companies and remain involved in my current companies, friends, and family. My partners see the value in my intuition-based approach to investing and asked me to think about how I can leverage my time and value by finding a great apprentice. I am big on a particular type of entrepreneur. I don?t look too hard at business plans and the numbers. I am not necessarily impressed by the guy who topped out at Stanford or dazzled at Google. I am specifically looking for founders who are extremely smart and want to change the world for the better by building new companies, founders who are deeply passionate and completely obsessive about what they want to do.
