At the Bay Area Tiger Entrepreneurs Conference, Erik Blachford '89, John Y. Chang '91, Karen Drexler '81, Nikhil Basu Trivedi '11, and moderator Don Albert '79 discussed consumer and med tech development from both sides of the venture capital coin: what investors are looking for in their consumer/med tech startups and how that changes through the various funding rounds, and what companies should look for in an investor.
One takeaway: People who can think from different perspectives can be successful in entrepreneurship, even if your major in college is unrelated.
