Startup Investor School: The Basics of Seed Investing
I think the biggest opportunity for seed investors today is actually in bio, but most people won&#x27;t touch it as there&#x27;s a perception you have to be a dr or phd to know the space. Which is an unfortunate misconception, bc the opportunity is huge. A program educating seed investors on bio would be super valuable<p>Biotech venture returns have outperformed techs in recent years, with more IPOs, higher m&amp;a returns and shorter time to exit. Counterintuitively for those who think bio is too capital intensive and it takes too long to get drugs approved, the best exits have been early stage deals where under $20-30M is invested<p>I know a few seed investors who&#x27;ve had several high multiple exits less than 18 months from seed, including one that sold for over $1B in less than 18 months<p>Despite this exit environment, the number of seed &#x2F; early stage investors in biotech has not grown in over a decade. VCs have responded by just seeding &#x2F; starting companies in house, but there are tons of great seed stage companies that just go unfunded bc people are intimidated by biotech
