These days, you don’t have to score a meeting with an investor to find out his interests, his advice and what he thinks about the latest trend in the industry. Sometimes that’s as easy as clicking the “Follow” button on Twitter, where many investors have made themselves more accessible and transparent. In the interest of entrepreneurs and startups getting ready to raise that first round, I’ve tracked down some of the most active and interesting health and tech VCs I could find on Twitter. Feel free to share others I missed in the comments.
