Incubator Innovators: Jeff Greenberg and Dave Schetter
Show #124 Listen (36:58) Download
Jeff just recently started listening to the podcast.
Which ones? He started with Don Siegel, #121.
Jeff is listening and reading everything he can about licensing technology because he's building a for-profit incubator at UCI. It's part of the Orange County Business Incubation Network, OCBIN.
To keep Jeff honest I get Asst. Vice Chancellor for Research and Technology Alliances, Dave Schetter, on the phone. Not one, but two incubators are planned and they're coming together quickly. Incubators could be great for Orange County, but for the Tech Coast Angels, does this mean more deals out of UCI, like CODA Genomics (podcast #52), or more competition?
The podcast finishes up with Jeff... when he's not building incubators, he's commuting to work on his new electric bike, a Veloteq, and it's more than just a new toy; Jeff has a new distributorship and hopes to find dealers across the southwest for this ecological mode of transport. It could catch on at UCI.

These are very well done, most impressive!

Frank: Great interview with Jeff Greenberg. thanks.
I would like to get together with you after I am back in town after October 18 and determine how best to integrate and connect the Angel groups with what we are now doing in my office and with the new incubators. I am actually at a conference today in Washington D.C. focusing on how to connect Angel groups with universities and what the value proposition will be for both sides. I think there will be opportunities as well to integrate angels into OCBIN mentoring functions and support services.
I look forward to connecting with you when if return. Best regards, Dave
