San Diego, CA, June 7, 2006 -- The first-ever UCSD Startup Bootcamp took place in May at Atkinson Hall, Calit2's headquarters on the La Jolla campus. The day-long workshop was co-chaired by UCSD assistant vice chancellor Alan Paau, who directs the university's Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Services (TechTIPS) program, and Fred Volinsky, CEO of Epiphany Biosciences. Billed as a meeting where faculty, students, staff and industry participants could learn "how'd they do that?" about forming companies, the bootcamp provided a wide range of information on starting new businesses, through a combination of presentations and panel discussions. Entrepreneurs, legal experts, accountants, venture capitalists and professors-turned-businessmen took part in panel discussions focused on startups in three major sectors: biomedical technology, information technology, and nanotechnology. Attendees also heard from Ginger Graham, CEO of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., who delivered the keynote talk after lunch.
Now, Calit2 is making all of the sessions available for on-demand viewing [Real player and broadband connection required]. Just click on the relevant photo, or the video link.
