Nano Ideas for Mega Businesses
Daryl Boudreaux, PhD
(VIDEO CONFERENCED FROM WOODCOCK WASHBURN LLP, PHILADELPIA, PA )
Abstract:
NanoHoldings is a commercialization and investment company that specializes in
developing very early research results in the area of nanomaterials. It is
targeted on the "Innovation Gap" that stymies many university inventions in
their quest for producing useful products. The talk will contrast investment
decisions made at this stage with those made more typically by angel and
venture investors. It will also discuss some of the important decision points
and how they relate to university and inventor motivations. Some of NanoHoldings
portfolio companies will be very briefly sketched.
