i think alot of VCs invest other peoples money

Essentially all VCs invest other people's money. If you invest your own money, you are an angel investor, not a VC.

1. all VCs invest a small amount of their fund's capital out of their own pocket

2. there are some surprisingly large "angel" funds out there that do VC bite size deals
