Computer science is now “the language of technology,” explains Lightspeed Venture Partners founding partner Ravi Mhatre, and studying a technical field like CS can give you an edge in many fields, including venture capital.

On the other hand, he adds, there are now plenty of tools that enable less-technical founders and investors to build businesses around web applications and data.
