Chemistry Undergrad for VCs

I am tired of RE and working towards another undergraduate degree in Chem or premed for the end-game of being in lifesci/med device VC. I understand any major with "engineering" at the end of it is supreme but I don't have the time or mental acuity of a 19-year old undergrad anymore.

What's the ideal second undergrad for VC in medical device VC?

 

This. I don't think VCs care what your Major is after you already have a degree. Don't waste money on a degree that means little in your situation.

Go work at a Med-tech company for a few years and join a few non-profits in the space to build your credibility.

 

Hm, what I have seen the VCs I do talk to say they don't GAF but wind up hiring doctorate degree holders.

How do I join non-profits in medtech? I chair a nonprofit in a diffierent field, hasn't helped me a second but maybe that's just beacuse we're small
Thanks!

Why would engineers trust a finance/marketing dude over another BME
