I got the opportunity to talk to Dr. Michael Deem, a former bioengineering department chair at Rice, entrepreneur, and experienced venture capitalist. We talked about the similarities and differences between working in academia and industry, his advice for entrepreneurs and startups, experiences as a VC, his former research at Rice, and if Shark Tank may be an accurate reflection of how investing in a startup all goes down.
