Von Liebig Center has a big week coming up. Faculty entrepreneurs will be presenting their technologies to a group of reviewers and the Von Liebig advisers.  Seed grants of up to $75,000 will be awarded to faculty members with technologies that have a combination of the best commercialization plans and biggest market potential.

Reviewers consist of a group of Angel Investors, Scientific officers, Venture Capitalists, and ex-Entrepreneurs from the Biotech/Pharma industry.

Of course, I won't be judging these projects and presentations. I'll be paying my dues by doing some grunt work like organizing, setting up and crunching numbers. However, I will be rewarded with the opportunity to listen to the presentations, talk to the entrepreneurs and reviewers, and most importantly, observe the comments and feedback from the panel about the technologies. 

Just payin' my dues.....
