CTL New Ventures Series – Pitching 101: How to Present Your Startups and Technology Innovation to Potential Funders
2022-10-04 12:00 - 13:00
Back by popular demand for CTL’s New Ventures Series this fall, Kirsten Leute and Ajay Rayasam at Osage University Partners (OUP) focus the session on how an entrepreneur, or a faculty-entrepreneur, can develop and deliver a pitch to gain interest and commitment from potential investors.
Pitching an early-stage science- and technology-based startup to potential funders can be intimidating. Learning how to tailor your presentation and understanding what motivates funders to say yes, or at least not give you an outright no, are important aspects of preparing for your initial pitch. This talk is structured around OUP’s many years of experience in hearing pitches and reviewing pitch decks to provide insight on creating and presenting an initial startup pitch to funders.
Speakers:

Kirsten Leute, Partner at OUP
Ajay Rayasam, M.S., Associate, Technology, OUP

2022-08-10 13:00 - 14:00
Webinar Description:

Please join us for the first part of our series of webinars on Startup Equity and Financing: Equity Compensation in University Startups.

Equity compensation can be an opaque and awkward topic for first-time academic founders. Join us for a webinar that is an in-depth look at venture capital perspectives on the economics of university startup formation, particularly founders’ equity. OUP will review an analysis of the equity structures of over 90 startups combined with our collective insights from a decade of working with hundreds of academic founders as featured in a recent blog post by Nabil Ullah. In addition, the speakers will take the audience step-by-step through the life of a company, illustrating the uses of equity and potential outcomes for founders.

You can submit questions below (on the registration page) and we will also have a Q&A session during the webinar.
Register here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

This webinar is open to all of OUP’s academic institution partners.

New Models of Gap Funding
2022-07-13 13:00 - 14:00
* Event organized by Tech Transfer Central
During 2021-2022, Cornell embarked on a major expansion of its gap funding series, committing $3 million a year to grow its innovation pipeline. But the Cornell story goes well beyond the top-line number. Underpinning the plan are three signature programs under the aptly named “Ignite” brand — all designed to fuel a major acceleration in start-ups, scale-ups, and innovation ecosystem growth.

The three-pronged plan includes a proof-of-concept program already sporting early successes, a unique new platform that integrates gap funding with acceleration programs, and a novel initiative that pairs postdocs with high-potential new ventures – and pays them to help take those start-ups on the path to growth – in the process creating a new generation of entrepreneurs.

Join Cornell’s tech transfer leader Alice Li, Ph.D., CLP, when she shares the details and early results of Ignite’s three signature programs: Ignite Innovation Acceleration, Ignite Postdoc for Ventures, and Ignite Startup Projects. She’ll provide insight into how each program was conceptualized, organized, funded and managed – and how the programs work in concert to increase start-up value and reach the next milestone event.

This one-hour webinar will illustrate aspects that worked well – and some that didn’t – for the existing gap funding programs while covering key elements in designing pioneering new platforms that you can adapt in your own university’s start-up and innovation ecosystem growth plans.

Here is a quick look at the agenda:

Concepts, goals and criteria for the three signature programs:

Ignite Innovation Acceleration
Ignite Postdoc for Ventures
Ignite Startup Projects

Metrics to measure success of gap funding programs

Processes that contribute to advancement to the next inflection points
Leveraging ecosystem development with the new platform design
Early results and lessons learned

Plus, bring your questions to participate in the interactive Q&A portion of the program.
After the live session, keep the on-demand video for future training and education

UIDP Xurban Cornell in Ithaca, NY
2022-06-07 - 2022-06-09 | Statler Hotel Ballroom, 130 Statler Dr, Ithaca, New York, 14853, United States
Innovation ecosystems thrive where ideas inspire collaborative partners to share an R&D vision. In the wake of the pandemic, we’ve learned that innovation can surge wherever idea-driven people live and when a sense of urgency exists. Combined with renewed national interest and federal funding to establish innovation engines outside major metro areas, we are poised to see new ecosystems grow where industry, academia, nonprofits, and government combine forces and leverage each other’s assets to achieve outcomes not possible without cooperation.

The result: new technology, novel startup ventures, and breakthrough solutions.

Building on the work of the 2019 workshop, you can view the report and workshop page for “U-I Engagement Outside Major Metropolitan Areas and Megacities.” UIDP Xurban Cornell will convene thought leaders from academic, corporate, government, and non-profit sectors to consider practical and effective strategies.

This workshop is in person and registration is required.

CTL@WCM Special Panel on Drug Repurposing
2022-05-24 13:00 - 14:00
Can you teach an old drug new tricks? Recent successes in repositioning existing drugs – from esketamine for treatment-resistant depression to remdesivir – originally developed to treat hepatitis C, tested for Ebola before being approved as a treatment for COVID 19 – point to potential upsides. The challenges, however, are many: from challenging IP prospects to skeptical investors. We have assembled an expert panel to discuss with us the enticing shortcuts repurposing may offer, the pitfalls it brings, and how to develop strategies to overcome them.
Join us at the second virtual CTL@WCM Special Panel, where innovators, IP experts, and regulators gather to assess the landscape and talk about the opportunities.

IP Series #3: Successful Patent Applications--It’s All in the Timing
2022-04-20 12:00 - 13:00
The right to be granted a patent for a given invention lies with the first person to file a fully-supported patent application. However, rushing to the patent office does not necessarily lead to the best outcomes in patenting. Finding the perfect time to file a patent is a collaborative process between the inventor and CTL, discovering a time that is not too early or too late. In this third session of the IP Series, we will discuss real-life examples of practical considerations in invention disclosure timing, including enablement, written description, and prior art hazards in publishing scientific findings before patenting. Join us to consider the status of your research and successful timing.

Featuring:
Paul J. Roman, J.D., Ph.D. Partner, Johnson, Marcou, Issacs & Nix, LLC.
