– The day started with making a list for the phone calls, and a list for the Emailing.
– Called several UBC professors in biology, pharmacy, physiology to schedule a meeting. Most of them didn’t answer. Will try again in the morning, and may yet get replies to voice mail.
– We prepared an Email to be sent to the potential researchers at UBC, and sent it to 10 people. still waiting for replies to book a meeting.
– Started contacting our collaborators at CDRD to get introduced to the potential researchers.
– Contacted two of the groups that we have been already in contact, and asked to have a meeting this week. Hopefully, we will get introduced to new colleagues through them.
– Assigned tasks and responsibilities for preparing the disclosure form, and the Friday workshop: Updating the SAM/TAM, getting to know our competitors, patent review, getting to know other researchers and players of the field, finding future applications, disadvantages and limitations of our system, and how to overcome them
* The solution is to NOT talk about your product or technology at all 🙂
* develop a “problem presentation” as described in chapter 5.
* figure out what people think a 3D bio printer is? What do they need? You don’t have to tell them what you have. You can talk about the state of the art. Later you can tell them about your stuff. ( Later can be a long time)
* I will be talking about this on friday as well.
