A Smart Guy With A Foot In The Door In Venture Capital

Vincent Tang in NYC reported to me a couple pieces of news in his life that just made my week. Good news for a Friday post. First, he’s landed an analyst position with Lux Research, the research arm of Lux Capital (a venture capital firm focused on making early-stage investments in nanotechnology). Second, he’s started a blog here. Notably, he gives me credit in his post for providing him with support during his search, but I did nothing more than try to reciprocate for connections and support he extended to me.

In any case, this should be an awesome opportunity for Vincent. His opportunity reminds me of one of the well-respected niche firms in my old hometown of Chicago, First Analysis. Lux has a bit of a different wrinkle though. Should be both challenging and a lot of fun from what I can tell. Vincent is very entrepreneurial in his approach and attitude. He will go far no doubt. Congrats, Vincent!
