Abstract
David Weild IV is a scientist by training. He started his career as an academic biologist who really didn’t like biology but who liked genetics, fulfilling most of his undergraduate requirements with graduate course work in molecular genetics. He left graduate programs, ultimately finding himself on Wall Street, and was fascinated when watching Genentech go public (1980): seeing the stock open at $35 per share and cresting within an hour at more than $88.
