How did rpv Founding Partner Arkady Kulik get into venture?

One of the questions that I like to ask is, how did you get into venture? How did you find it? The quest started with science more than venture itself. And I was looking for all the different ways I can contribute to science. I've made my money in IT and I was like, it's all cool and nice and sure, technology. And I always had that urge to get something, get a little closer to some really hard problems, you know, whether it's neuroscience or photonics or energy or materials. I had this urge in me, probably inspired by science fiction, too, too much science fiction read as a kid, and definitely inspired by physics education. I've got a master's in physics. To me, the scientific breakthrough itself, the theory or, you know, mathematical equations, they have their own aesthetics to them.
