Science in Venture Capital: Opening the VC World to Scientists
We are pleased to invite PhD students and postdocs to Science in Venture Capital: Opening the VC World to Scientists, an introductory event exploring venture capital as a possible career path for scientists.
Venture capital involves investing in early-stage startups with high growth potential. In science-based sectors such as engineering, biotech, health, AI, investment funds need people who can evaluate complex technologies, research quality, technical and clinical risks, and long commercialization timelines. Scientific expertise can therefore be highly valuable in venture capital and startup investing.
