Ask anything about Venture Capital and Elm Street Ventures Funding. Barry is an accomplished Venture Partner, R&D Leader, people manager, and product developer in both start-up and global life sciences companies with a very strong background and track record in protein and molecular biology. A serial entrepreneur, he helped start up two biotechnology companies that were spun out of Yale University, where he received his Ph.D. One of these companies, Protometrix, Inc., was acquired by the rapidly growing Invitrogen Corporation only 2 years after its founding. He remained for over 10 years in various roles with that organization as it evolved into Life Technologies and as it merged with the 50,000 employee Thermo Fisher Scientific Corporation. More recently, he joined Elm Street Ventures, a seed and early-stage venture fund based in New Haven, CT as a Venture Partner.
