A venture capital guy gave a guest lecture in my drug development class this morning. He had some interesting info to present. Here are some tidbits:
"You have to know people and arrange golf games."
- on how to obtain scientific info that never gets published
"Always marry up.....that's what I did."
- on how to afford the high cost of living in the bay area
"I prefer to make money."
- 0n how he decides what kinds of companies to invest in
And one final piece of info: "NOBODY knows what causes lower back pain." This is the part where I threw up. (So I don't know what causes lower back pain either, but I can say from my experience it's definitely not caused by money, marrying up, or networking on the golf course.)
