#16 Marc Sedam on building the Amazon for IP licensing

Marc Sedam is the Vice President for Technology Opportunities and Ventures at NYU Langone Health. Marc, a biochemist by training, gained an outstanding experience in technology transfer through several leadership roles in academic settings as well as as a COO for a biotech company. His expertise includes oversight of hundreds of intellectual property collaborations and more than 50 startup companies, including 2 as a founding member.  

Marc explains why "serve the idea" is his guiding principle for technology transfer and how to collaborate with industry players in an effective manner. He has also clear advice for KPIs when building up or improving performance of tech transfer units. As a visionary thinker, he has implemented standardized deal terms already and envisions a digital platform for automated tech transfer - the Amazon for IP licensing. We also touch upon company formation, the ideal founding team for spin-offs and the power of alumni networks.
