My background is a BS in engineering, then a Stanford MBA, then worked for 3 hedge funds, one was life science focused.
Then founded my own set of funds, which included the following strategies: fundamental long-short, quantitative long-short, and venture capital. I also structure a lot of investments into private and public companies. The anchor tenant for my fund is often mentioned when people are talking about top global hedge funds. HBO (or some network) made a TV series that, supposedly, was partially based on his fund. I couldn't watch much of it though...too much Hollywood b-s.
As my kids got older, I realized I was spending too much time thinking about things that don't matter, so I gave back most investor money (about $3.5B at its peak). I still have my funds but the money is mostly mine, together a few friends that asked to stay. When I have a good idea, I call my hedge fund friends.
Some of what's written on these boards bewilders me but I occasionally publish in hopes that it may help others a bit.
