Himanshu’s Answer

Hi David! This is a great field to enter at the moment. There are several ways in which you can enter in the biotech field. A few ways to enter are

1. Venture Capital - Do a research project to understand the space and the market
2. Finance
3. Sales
4. Marketing

Having a background in biology gives you a much better shot at it than someone coming from a pure business background.

Himanshu recommends the following next steps:

1. Talk to people in the space that you want to work
2. Learn about what degrees do these jobs want
