I love those quilted vests a little grey at the temples also adds a lot of gravitas

Throw in some long pauses, dropping some quotes from someone everyone claims to have read and haven't and be 5% underweight while having pronounced delts or triceps.

Throw on a pair of Sundar glasses and slip a moleskine notebook and a Montblanc Meisterstuck and you are platinum. Catalyze those synergies across complimented verticals!

I don't get that part of the joke. Most VCs are skinny AF or quite chubby, but none of them seem to have any semblance of muscle mass?

It sets the stage that they have a mind over matter level of self control, calorie negative longevity diet, self measure along with wanted to "blow off some steam" with bouldering (a high analytical physical activity).

Ah that's why I didn't get the joke.

Boulderers don't have large triceps or deltoids...to the extant that arms are used in bouldering, it is in pulling activities that develop the back, biceps, and forearms, not the deltoids or triceps.

You only get large delts and tris without developing other muscles by doing excessively long static planks.

You are good!

Do you play ultimate?

Have you considered being a partner in a VC firm?

Pfft. Lamy Unic

Nice, the notebook would have to be quadrille. The PhD VC angle. You would have to focus on technicals over the pure MBA pastiche.
