Got a meeting with a VC partner next week -- I don't know much about VC at all (I mean, I know _what_ it is, but nothing technical).
Any recommendations for literature I should read before then? Anything technical I really need to know?
Thanks all.

just try to dig in to his decision process, and how he manages the firm..
Chances are, if you haven't really thought about VC much, you will look like a noob regardless. Just my experience from coaching underclassmen. Can be really hard to fake knowledge / experience with these kinda things..
based on that, I highly recommend to just ask him what you really want to know... If you just want a job, ask him more about that.

Think of why you wanna do it.
Think of why you wanna do it. The partner will not ask you how to calculate an option recharge in a cap table with warrant coverage, convertible debt, and other bells and whistles.
Why VC:
- Love the sector
- Passion for entrepreneurship
- Working with smart and driven people that have similar interest
- Help build companies
- Follow companies through investment cycle
- Operational aspect when working with portfolio co on particular project.
- Etc.
Make sure you know the macro trends of the fund space. Know the recent deals (acquisition, IPO, financings).
Think through and show passion, that's the only way you'll get traction.
