Citation please. My experience is that there are a lot more MDs and PhDs in biotech than other tech fields. I would like to see where you got the information that a "significant number" have absolutely no science training. Also, when you say "significant number" do you mean less than other fields at a significant level or do you mean less than some number you are defining as significant. If the latter would that be only 5, 10, 15, 20, 49.9% without science training and is that less than average or other tech fields?

Martin Shkreli is an example. Criminal allegations aside, he founded Retrophin which currently has a $750 million market cap.
My understanding is that Retrophin is an M&A company. They did not develop any drugs that they sell.
