Ask HN: VC-like jobs and opportunities?

I enjoy reading about startup and business strategies by the likes of Thiel, Andressen, etc. I like how its multi-disciplinary, covering economics, history, politics, statistics, etc.

They get to predict the future and make bets on it with capital.

What kinds of careers or opportunities lets you think about these strategies every day?

I'm already investing in public company stocks, but aside from angel investing, what things can you do that keep you in this world?
