There's an e-mail list, plus several speaker/networking events. Sam Collela of Versant Vertures spoke at their first event two weeks ago. Our very own Peter Fiske will speak at an event on Dec 5th. The organizers specifically asked that Evening MBA students were invited to participate (our fame precedes us). Great opportunity to meet up with clinicians/scientists with new ideas who need help with commercialization. See below for details. Tom McVey ----- Hello , We have an exciting new program here at UCSF called the UCSF Innovation Accelerator (UCSF-IA), whose mission is to engage and educate the UCSF community in entrepreneurial ventures. This year UCSF-IA is hosting a number of activities including: an Entrepreneur's Discussion Group, three workshops: Opportunity Recognition in Life Sciences, Writing a Winning Executive Summary, and Intellectual Property in Life Sciences (two will be mixers with the Biotech Club of Berkeley's Haas School of Business), and an Executive Summary Competition with an Awards Ceremony. These activities aim to provide a forum for UCSF students/postdocs/clinicians/scientists to learn about the biotech business and writing business plans, to encourage interest in entrepreneurship, and to network with Bay Area scientists and business professionals and MBAs. We encourage you to sign-up on our listserv: ucsf-ia to receive up-to-date information and e-mail announcements about these and related activities hosted throughout the year by UCSF-IA.
