I worked for a world-class geneticist who had spent 25 years in academia who left for the private sector. Word of warning though, his first venture/partner tried to screw him royally which ended up in a long and expensive court battle, which was a hard lesson to learn before he split and started it by himself. I helped him get off the ground infrastructure wise and last I heard they were doing great business. I love working for smart people. If you pay attention you learn so much, to the point that I would readily join another PhD led team.
