Founder/VC Exits for Top Tech Banking Groups

Hey there,

I'm curious to hear the VC side of what exits from top tech banking groups like Q or GS TMT look like, specifically for VC or entrepreneurship.

From the IB forum, it seems like these groups are well regarded within tech VC. My concern is, would they pigeon hole you to "hard finance" roles, and not as much for operational/entrepreneurial ones? For example, would a co-founder with a Qatalyst or GS TMT background have a large advantage when raising funds for a startup when compared to working at a previous successful startup or other more "entrepreneurial" experiences?
