“I am an Investment Associate at Button Capital, a Venture Capitalist Firm that only invests in healthcare-related startups. I meet with startup companies and perform technology and market research as well as a general due diligence on the company. The venture capitalist realm is all about strategy, so I take a lot of time crafting strategies.”
Sarah Georges, MSTV '19
Investment Associate Intern at Button Capital
“The Ventures team that I'm working with focuses on bridging the gap between the research lab and commercial applications. The MSTV program has not only given me exposure to cutting edge technology, but also the tools to understand how those technologies can address real customer pain points." “
