Oros Speaker - Steven Burrill - Biotech Venture Capital

We had our first "John J. Oros" speaker on Thursday. Steven Burrill, founder and CEO of Burrill and Company came to talk about his experiences in his field - biotech venture capital investing. Most importantly, though, he tried to remind us that risk taking is encouraged. I loved hearing him talk about his former Starbucks addiction, sleeping only 3 hours per night, and trying to find the next great biotech revolution that will cure cancer or alzheimer's.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I give the talk an 8.5. It was motivational, interesting, and, at times humorous. Steve's bio sure is interesting, and it goes to show how strong the business school alumni network is.
