4/9
5:00 pm — 6:00 pm
Thursday, April 9, 2020
Virtual Event via Zoom

Update on COVID-19: The Harvard Innovation Labs has always been a hub for inventive thinking. All our programming and events will continue virtually. We will email Zoom information after you register.

Overview: Please join us for our third Fireside Founder Chat with Greg Erman, President & CEO of EmpiraMed. Greg and the i-lab’s Mike Fenn will be discussing lessons learned in building a company from scratch – successes and failures. Greg will drill-down into how to build a great team “without gaps or overlaps,” recruiting world class talent when you don’t have any money, and aligning academic researchers/IP to commercial unmet needs. Greg will also touch on developing team “partnership agreements” in lieu of salary and using that as an “IOU” to VCs.
