SUMMARY:University Technology Startup Series 1: Founder’s Equity & CEO Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Kirsten Leute and Margalit Haber at Osage University Partners (OUP) will provide an in-depth look at venture capital perspectives on the economics of university startup formation.  \n  \nIn the first part of the session\, they will take the participants step-by-step through the life of a company\, illustrating the uses of equity and potential outcomes for founders. \n  \nIn the second part of the session\, they will take the participants through the CEO search process\, how VCs evaluate potential entrepreneurs\, and some observations about drivers for long-term success as an entrepreneur. The participants will assess mock candidate profiles and learn methods of diligence to choose the right leader for their startup. \n \nSpeakers: \n\nKirsten Leute\, Partner\, University Relations\, OUP\nMargalit Haber\, Associate – life science investment team\, OUP\n\nRegister: https://cornell.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIvc-yrpzIiGt0UblhVeLghYBwb59Npo97o

SUMMARY:2021 CCMR Symposium: “High Performance Soft Materials: from Bioinspiration to Synthesis and Fabrication”
DESCRIPTION:CCMR Symposium – June 9\, 2021 – Virtual – Free Registration! \n   \nHigh-performance soft materials: from bioinspiration to synthesis and fabrication! \n   \nREGISTRATION IS OPEN! \n   \n2021 Organizing Committee:\nProf. Lawrence Bonassar\, Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering/Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\, College of Engineering\, Cornell University \n   \nProf. Nikolaos Bouklas\, Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\, College of Engineering\, Cornell University \n   \nA new generation of engineering applications\, propelled by industry and government-led initiatives\, has created an array of challenges towards enhancing the performance capabilities of soft materials. This effort has focused on a variety of goals\, including the development of novel soft materials that  \n\ncan match the natural properties of biological tissues\,\nare responsive to external multi-physical stimuli and\ncan function in structural and load bearing applications.\n\n   \nApplications in tissue engineering\, bioengineering\, soft robotics\, flexible electronics\, energetic materials and structural design\, all pose requirements towards optimizing combinations of material properties\, such as strength\, toughness\, fatigue resistance\, lubricity\, and wear resistance. For example recent advances have led to the development of double network hydrogels\, soft composites\, as well as hydrogels and elastomers with dynamic bonds which all are designed towards improved material properties. Bioinspiration and multiscale understanding of the underlying mechanisms that govern the material behavior prove to be extremely important for informing the design and generation of soft materials\, devices\, and implants. At the same time\, advancements in fabrication techniques such as 3D printing are expanding the application space of soft materials. The acceleration of soft material design needs to be supported by the concurrent evolution of fabrication and characterization techniques so that existing shortcomings of soft materials are overcome. \n   \nThe goal of this symposium is to bring together experts in the characterization\, design\, fabrication\, and application of high performance soft material to discuss recent developments in the field and priorities for interdisciplinary approaches to moving the field forward.  \n   \nRegister:\nhttps://www.ccmr.cornell.edu/industry/ccmr-symposium/registration/ccmr-symposium-registration-form/

SUMMARY:UTS Series #2 - Pitching 101: How to Present Your Startups and Technology Innovation to Potential Funders
DESCRIPTION:For CTL second University Technology Startup (UTS) series\, Margalit Haber and Ajay Rayasam at Osage University Partners (OUP) will 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. \nPitching 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 will be 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. \n  \nSpeakers:\nMargalit Haber\, PhD\, Associate\, Life Sciences\, OUP\nAjay Rayasam\, M.S.\, Associate\, Technology\, OUP \n  \nRegister at https://cornell.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAud-2pqzgoGNBJq_SmMtbViIiqdO6CEVyf

SUMMARY:OUP Webinar: Ask a VC webinar
DESCRIPTION:Have a burning question on venture capital you need answered? \n  \nJoin the Center for Technology Licensing’s partner\, Osage University Partners (OUP)\, for our second annual ‘Ask a VC’ webinar\, a session where our partner TTOs can ask Managing Partners Marc Singer and Bill Harrington anything and everything as it pertains to venture capital operations\, decision-making\, and the current investing environment. \nSince the purpose of this webinar is to answer your questions on venture capital and startups\, submit your questions early. Query areas could include: \n\nWhat should startups look for in their lead investors?\nWhat are ‘standard’ investment terms these days for startups? Does this vary by Seed vs Series A?\nWhat are the common misconceptions you find that faculty members have about being a company founder?\nWhat does a well-known PI typically receive for founder’s equity?\nHow do SPACs work and what could they mean for university startups?\nWhat do you find are common misconceptions TTOs have about venture capital?\nWhat sources of funding most commonly lead to a startup having a later successful venture capital financing round?\n\nMarc and Bill will also take questions from the audience the day of the webinar\, but sending your questions in advance will put them at the top of the queue. \nThis webinar is free to all of OUP’s academic institution partners (Cornell Faculty and students). \n  \nPanelists: \nBill Harrington\, Managing Partner\, Life Sciences\, OUP \nMarc Singer\, Managing Partner\, Technology\, OUP \n  \nRegistration Link:  https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Zxkj7mUdTu2izYAoPwT5qw \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

SUMMARY:A Plant License - AUTM Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:The anatomy of a plant license is different from that of a biotechnology\, pharmaceutical\, or medical devices license. Different types of intellectual property protect plants\, so drafting associated licenses can be challenging. The deal terms vary according to the type of license. Plants are a huge part of the earth’s ecosystem\, and understanding how they grow and eventually reach the market is attractive. Panelists will cover these issues. Join this session\, and you may even learn how the soybean made it to our dinner plates. \n  \nModerator: \nJill Link\, McKee\, Voorhees & Sease\, PLC \nSpeaker: \nThomas Herlache\, MSU Technolgies \nBrea Hutchcraft-May\, Bayer Crop Science \nJessica Stein\, Cornell University
