I am still feeling the jet lag but back in the swing of things and have finally had some time to reflect on the whirlwind that was JPM Week in San Francisco. 1.        You don’t have to be one of the “cool kids.” In high school, I always felt like I was just on the …

Back in London and straight onto a panel at Zinc VC, sharing insights on building healthcare businesses as part of Zinc’s venture builder bootcamp.
