"Getting started in biology" and "starting a biotech company" to me are opposite ends of a continuum, akin to "learning how to walk" vs "training for a marathon". I made the transition from web dev to bioinformatics five years ago and while I have a good job in academia, I wouldn't dream of starting a bioX company without a bioX cofounder.
