UW Alumni Insider interviewed MS'82 Alumnus Pavan Nigam on high-tech entrepreneurship in the Silicon Valley.

According to Nigam MS’82, Silicon Valley works best when it operates like a version of the old spiritual “Dem Bones”:

• The inventor’s connected to the entrepreneur.
• The entrepreneur’s connected to the angel investor.
• The angel investor’s connected to venture capital.
• The venture capitalist is connected to the corporate attorney.
