I’m a big fan of angel investing. The thrill of helping innovative entrepreneurs launch their dreams is as exciting as anything I’ve ever done. I once heard someone say your life is divided into thirds—you spend the first third learning, the second third earning, and the last third returning. I like that. For me, angel investing fits into that last third.
I’ve been making investments in San Diego life sciences startups since 2002. I’ve had some success, most notably with N Spine (acquired in 2007) and Trius Therapeutics (IPO in 2010 and acquired last year).
