It ones thing to sell your vision and philosophy to a VC. But to ask them to be fun, principled, and the whole firm thing...
"I'd like to be able to walk into my VC's office and have just about anyone there be interested in talking to me--and not have to feel like I'm waiting for just one person."
It sounds more like hes looking for someone to pat him on the back then an investor.
The VCs job is to get a return on his investment and in the process help you get to that position. At the end of the day its about business regardless if your "vision" and "passion" is about helping people find their calling or whatever his intentions are.
How about a list of things you'd expect from a VC in terms of the business, not personality or character? The only one I saw was "knowledge in our market".
