I fell in love with this place nearly 20 years ago because it reminded me of a premier venture capital firm. I draw this analogy because Damon Runyon has been associated with almost every breakthrough in cancer research despite the fact that we only grant around $18-20 million a year - tiny player, enormous impact."
