The MBA Entrepreneurship Platform program invites recent alumni back to campus on a regular basis to share their experiences in all aspects of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Anton Gimmel, MBA’14, took part in a panel discussion recently. He pursued his MBA at Olin after working on Wall Street for 10 years in investment banking. He explains why in the video above.

After graduation, Anton joined Clayton-based RiverVest Venture Partners®. The firm focuses exclusively on innovations in life sciences and is one of the leading VC firms that invests in medical device and biotech companies. Established in 2000, RiverVest has $280+ million assets under management. It has funded 30 life science companies to date with 18 exits.
