Xconomy: Biotech Pioneer Steve Gillis on Life as a VC, How Todays Entrepreneurs Can Make It, and Seattles Future in Life Sciences (Part 1)
Summary
Biotech Pioneer Steve Gillis on Life as a VC, How Today’s Entrepreneurs Can Make It, and Seattle’s Future in Life Sciences (Part 1) (Page 2 of 3) mandated by others or regulations, and at least part of the time, doesn’t really create a hell of a lot of value for anybody.Bob convinced me, as did the other partners, that Arch still believed that the best science will create the best products and the best companies.I initially started as a venture partner, and the goal was that I’d work something like four days a week and screw off the rest of the time.And the exposure that I have to lots of areas of science that I certainly didn’t have when I had day-to-day responsibilities of running a public company.I get to keep my hand close to operations, without having to do some of the dirty work or some of the things I don’t enjoy doing, like writing performance evaluations or all the trappings you have to do when you’re CEO, because there’s no one else to do them.
