As businesses of all sizes face a myriad of pandemic-posed challenges, Earle Hager offers guidance via the #grantprocess during Temple Health & Bioscience District‘s E-Learning Series #webinar, taking place next Tuesday, August 25 from 12-1 p.m. Bring your questions and challenges to this session you can’t afford to miss! #lifesciences #bioscience #biotech #startups #grants

Innovators looking to develop new ideas during the pandemic face a wide range of challenges. While R&D budgets are being cut, corporate innovation and licensing has slowed, and lab activity has been curtailed.

In these challenging times, startups can find funding but, just as importantly, independent validation of their ideas via the grant process. By leveraging grant-based resources and applications, startups can receive undiluted funding to advance their technology. Join us as Earle Hager shares his extensive knowledge of business development and the grant process for startups and dives into the life cycle planning the grant process allows.

Bring your questions and problems to this discussion, as the answers may be of value to others facing similar challenges.

The Neutrino Donut – Training Seminar – Austin Technology Incubator – SEAL Accelerator – SBIR / STTR & Other Non-Dilutive Funding

On By Earle HagerIn Austin Technology Incubator, Business Development, Company Leadership, Events, Global Technology Projects, SBIR, Technology Assessments, Technology Marketing, University Technology CommercializationLeave a comment

The Neutrino Donut will be conducting a training seminar on grant programs, fund raising, and planning for the Austin Technology Incubator SEAL program. This program will be delivered online on 9 July 2020.

SEAL’s core value is vetting emerging university startups from the market’s perspective, not the entrepreneur’s nor university ecosystem’s perspective. A by-product is to shift founders’ mindsets to be market centric instead of technology or product centric.
To accomplish this, SEAL coalesces a group of hand-picked, experienced startup mentors to assist each startup in identifying the next potential Go / No-Go Decision. SEAL then builds a set of industry-specific mentors to work with each team over the course of two months to do the work to rigorously answer the analyses underlying the Go / No-Go Decision. Additionally, SEAL brings in experienced entrepreneurs and technical experts to talk about their real-world experience in confronting some of the most common
Go / No-Go Decisions. This is particularly useful as startups confront an on-going sequence of these types of decisions, so SEAL primes its participants to have a baseline of knowledge as many of these common decisions will emerge in each of their journeys.
Most startups participating in SEAL have already removed significant scientific or technical risk through lab prototypes, pilot deployments, and occasionally, early sales. Given that, most Go / No-Go Decisions center on “scalability” questions around the underlying technology, go-to-market, team, funding requirements, firm economics, and other core business model components.
In prior years, SEAL has also facilitated ecosystem engagement opportunities to jumpstart the process of university-based entrepreneurs building out their ecosystem network. For many student founders, this represents their first “in-the-wild” professional networking experience. Austin’s startup ecosystem is overflowing with organizations, activities and people that support entrepreneurs and startups, so quickly learning how to navigate and engage with it is critical to the long term prospects for each
startup.

Innovation in the Times of the COVID-19 – THE GRANT PROCESS

We are focusing on the development of new ideas in the time of Covid-19. Right now, corporate innovation and licensing has slowed, as R&D budgets are being cut. New biotech developments have slowed as lab activity has been curtailed. The Angel and VC markets, already risk adverse, have become more conservative.

In these times, startups will need funding but, just as importantly, independent validation of their ideas via the grant processes. By leveraging these grant based resources and applications, startups can find validation of their ideas and processes as well as received undiluted funding to advance their technology. From there, the startup will be in a stronger position to negotiate exits with these partners. The SBIR process involved extensive reviews of your idea from science experts, business experts, and project development experts, all of which will provide opportunities to fine tune your idea to commercialization.

We will discuss the Phase I grant, where the technical merit of the project is discussed. In Phase II, we will discuss taking your idea to the marketplaces. Then you can talk to the Angels, VCs and corporate licensing folks from a position of strength.

For the startup, this means planning the entire life cycle of your idea and figuring out where the exit ramps are located.

After the session, we will have an open discussion of the business / technical / funding challenges of your companies. Bring your questions and problems, the answers may be of interest to other folks as well. Led by guest speaker Earle Hager, Managing Partner / The Neutrino Donut, LLC Mr. Hager has worked extensively on technology assessment, business development, and grant process for several hundred startups.  He has even does those Net Present Value spreadsheets required for financial planning on grants. He also knows almost everyone you may need to connect with in the corporate market. He comes to Los Angeles via Philadelphia and Austin.
