Transitioning out of a 10 year career in investment banking where I was solely focused on healthcare and life sciences sell-side M&A advisory for deals ranging in size from $100M of enterprise value up to nearly $3 billion. Now I am looking to put that deal stage behind me and begin operating companies. I have $750k to invest but have a wide network behind me of interested parties that would be able to quickly increase that dollar amount to several million.
