The walking dead live, but it’s value, not brains, they are eating. So-called zombie funds, life sciences venture capital funds that are fully invested and unable to raise new money, still maintain their board seats. But Outcome Capital’s Managing Directors Oded Ben-Joseph and Arnie Freeman say their divergent interest from their fellow board members often lead to disputes that can end the life of promising technologies and lead to acquisitions that leave much value on the table.
