Josh Elman wants to fall in love. He wants to make this investment. But the startup founder sitting across from him—bland and too confident for his own good—is making it difficult. The founder is not so much playing hard to get as clueless.

Elman is a partner at one of the tech world’s top venture capital firms, Greylock Partners. These days Greylock maintains not one but two offices in the San Francisco Bay Area. One is on Sand Hill Road, in Menlo Park, long the Wall Street of venture capital and more or less in the middle of Silicon Valley. But these days the center of gravity in the tech world has shifted north to San Francisco, and Greylock, like most of the area’s leading venture firms, now leases space in the city.
