Sandell talks about what he learned about business from rowing, becoming a venture capitalist, and investing in the innovation economy from life sciences, biotechnology and medical devices to IT, including everything from semiconductors to consumer internet.

Moore’s law is alive and well and has been since the ‘60s.
