venture tourist. A venture capitalist who has no money in his/her current fund, and so has zero likelihood of investing, but meets startup companies and visits conferences all the same. It is sometimes viewed as inappropriate behavior, especially if said VC doesn't disclose the unlikeliness of ever investing.
Usage: "Yeah, our current fund is fully committed, so I'm mostly being a venture tourist these days."
