ValleyZen's Drue Kataoka interviews Bill Draper III of Draper Richards and gets his insights on Zen and the art of venture funding and why it's important to have fun. He shares how he spots talent and potential, and says he knows, when he looks someone in the eye, whether they have the drive to follow a dream through.
