Most academic entrepreneurship support assumes you want VC. We don't. Build YOUR model: courses, consulting, social ventures, or startups. Guiding academic entrepreneurs & entrepreneurial academics from research to revenue, impact, or influence.
This is me several years ago promoting an AgTech venture from university IP.
I was told: pitch major investors (which I did), scale fast, go big or go home.
But I had a different vision—sustainable, impact-oriented growth. That tension taught me everything about academic entrepreneurship. 🧵
