Ted Schlein, a venture capitalist at Kleiner Perkins, is a long-time investor in cybersecurity start-ups whose portfolio includes bug bounty firm Synack and network intrusion detecting firm Area 1 Security. He calls the flow of people from NSA into the start-up world a “recent phenomenon.” “I think it’s a direct correlation to Snowden,” says Schlein. “NSA engineers are highly talented and smart people with deep experience with how to battle bad forces. The portrayal of the NSA doing things that are bad is not making it the hot place to work inside the intelligence community. Instead of the NSA being the final destination for these young talented engineers, it’s becoming a training ground. As a VC, I think it’s wonderful. As a citizen of the US, I’d make a different argument.”

This is a strange thing to say: "As a VC, I think it’s wonderful. As a citizen of the US, I’d make a different argument.”
