Indeed, I left academia for a startup. Securing funding for ZappyLab is by no means easy (http://anothersb.blogspot.com/2014/03/hello-startup-sequel-t...) But as hard as it is, there are many VCs, angels, and there is crowd funding (we are running a Kickstarter campaign now). Certainly not easy, but there are more options. You run a genetics lab and lose your NIH grant - where do you go?

Wherever you go, whatever you do, do this: quadruple your effort and input into your relationship with your wife.

Do VCs not fund biotech startups? Or are they only interested in social media iOS apps?
