I screen early stage deals for a group of angel investors and consult to start-up CEOs. We're generally too early stage to co-invest with institutional money, so I don't get to interact with very many people in the VC industry and would like to get a better sense of what kind of deals everyone else is seeing. We tend to source from the same people/institutions and sometimes I think the environment is so insular that we could easily miss some major trends in the investment community. There's a "Young Venture Capitalists" group (or so i hear) on the west coast that functions like a YPO or YEO for analyst/associate level VCs. I was thinking of starting something similar in NY - an organization where those of us that have to wade through mountains of business plans every week could meet to swap war stories and talk about what's going on in the industry. Preferably over drinks. Anyone interested? |

Do you do any work in the biotech area? I currently work for a major pharmaceutical company conducting commercial evaluations of licensing/M&A opportunities. However, my educational background is molecular biology, and my real interest is in biotech and genomics. I am interested in working in a VC role focusing on biotech. But most of the biotech VC firms seem to be in Boston and CA. If you have any interest in this area, I would like to chat. Email me at: mlderby@yahoo.com.
