Project Management to VC?

How is the transition from project management at a startup or bluechip to VC, with or without MBA (although I assume it is required). I was looking at partner profiles and it seems that banking/consulting were most of the backgrounds in addition to entrepreneurs.

Also how to b-schools look at project managers wanting to get into VC?

that's probably viewed the same as operational experience, in other words, just like any other tech experience. So yes if its at a startup then it would be useful, less so at a bluechip but still ok.

 

Any idea how business schools look at something like project management? My GPA is less then stellar (approx 3.1), so would going to a school like Berkley for my MBA make me competitive for VC?
