Date Posted: 04/23/2001
Message: I am an MS Biochem looking to one day get an MBA and move into VC. I have heard a lot that "operational" experience is what VC requires, but I am a little confused what is meant by "operational". As a MS scientist I've been doing research and quality control oriented jobs at two different mid-size biotechs. Is this considered operational? Or do I need to transition into business development/licensing/marketing at a start-up biotech firm? Thanks.
