Abstract
- The article discusses the role that venture capitalists play in taking scientific innovations from theoretical concepts to commercial realities. They provide financing and advice to companies with potentially successful technologies and products. The average day of an investment professional at a venture capital firm incorporates evaluating investment opportunities, negotiating terms for investments, and potentially even taking an operational role in a start-up company. Activities of the firm Thomas, McNerney & Partners are discussed.
