In doing so they discovered a mutual resolve to create something using innovative technology and solve a problem relating to intellectual property, specifically patents. Both Neil and Ahan had just started to get into crypto trading and realized that NFT technology had more to offer than its collectible aspect. Here the idea of PatentX was created: to use NFT technology to provide utility in an antiquated space that lacked efficiency.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It is estimated that we have $1 trillion in unused IP in the United States currently. Additionally, it is reported that there is $25.6 billion worth of patent monetization available today. This is why we created PatentX, a blockchain-backed marketplace to facilitate intellectual property transactions. We built this to make sure the little man innovators and entrepreneurs have an outlet to monetize and connect their patents with the world. Not only that, we are creating tools for large businesses, law firms, venture capitals to manage all of their IP on the blockchain that can handle transactions in seconds.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENeil and Ahan describe their product launch process as a great learning experience and are firm believers that there can never be too much help. They are currently supported by DXPartners and have received help from various mentors and blockchain professionals.

After launching last year for students in the BME department, PairMe is now expanding to students of all majors and departments. On this virtual platform, mentors (professors, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research scientists) can post openings to recruit students to perform research. Students can then view postings by signing in with their GT credentials and applying directly to open positions. PairMe is available for all undergraduate students and research-affiliated members of Georgia Tech, as well as the joint Biomedical Engineering Department at Emory University.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe idea behind the website started when biomedical engineering student, Amy Liu, saw a disparity in the access between mentors and BME students. In the summer of 2020, she began to research the need from the perspective of mentors. She conducted surveys of graduate students in BME as well as other College of Engineering and College of Sciences departments. She found that mentors were largely passive when seeking a mentee \u0026mdash; with most just waiting for emails to come in through their principal investigators (PIs) \u0026mdash; yet many had the desire to actively recruit students. So, to address this issue, Liu created a website where mentors could post and manage project openings (with the PI\u0026rsquo;s approval of course) for undergraduate students to apply to. First going live in October 2020 in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering, she hoped that this continually updated virtual platform would facilitate communication among groups and bring benefits to all three parties involved \u0026mdash; the mentee, the mentor, and the PI \u0026mdash; especially during the height of the pandemic.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I would like Tech students to know that PairMe was created to fill a gap,\u0026quot; Liu said. \u0026quot;As Georgia Tech is a research-driven institution, every student should have equal opportunities\u0026nbsp;to conduct research. With greater awareness, increased visibility of options, and a broader reach, I believe this platform has the potential to reduce the barrier to getting involved in undergraduate research at Tech.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBoth mentors and students can benefit from PairMe as it presents an opportunity for mentors to directly recruit Tech students through public postings, while undergraduate students can strategically apply to labs with openings instead of blindly emailing professors.

Here he will compete with teams from twelve other universities for the chance to take home $30,000 in prizes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPullen\u0026rsquo;s invention first took root when he experienced the struggle of getting turf burn while playing football. While most players seek protection through regular compression sleeves, this often leads to decreased grip, more fumbles, and difficulty in maneuvering plays.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile working in sports medicine with the Atlanta Falcons, Pullen found a way to directly avoid this problem. LZRD Sleeve is a compressive sleeve that integrates gripping and moisture-wicking technology to deliver protection and control without sacrificing mobility nor comfort.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince then, LZRD Sleeve has secured its place in non-athletic arenas. A year ago, the world of sports halted due to COVID-19 shutdowns. It was then that Pullen sought other applications for his innovative sleeve \u0026mdash; LZRD Sleeve has expanded its market to delivery drivers, gardeners, and maintenance workers seeking better performance and protection from harm.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELZRD Sleeve is now being used by the largest U.S. courier service, and it has also been featured in Neil DeGrasse Tyson\u0026rsquo;s podcast\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EStarTalk\u003C\/em\u003E. On the same hand, Pullen has been in contact with a whopping five Fortune 500 companies. He ultimately hopes that InVenture Prize will show that with hard work, nothing is impossible.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;Never in a million years would I have thought I would be representing Georgia Tech in the ACC InVenture Prize. Getting out of your comfort zone and trying new things is important, and by winning, I hope to set an example so that others might do the same,\u0026rdquo; Pullen stated.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOverall, winning the ACC InVenture Prize would allow LZRD Sleeve to expand even further through capital investments, uptakes in production, and coverage of associated legal fees.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Georgia Tech community is encouraged to show Pullen its support through voting for the People\u0026rsquo;s Choice Award of $5,000.

Once Ethos Medical was announced as the winner of the 2019 InVenture Prize, the team witnessed the transformation of their startup. They would now have full confidence in their ultrasound-guided needle system, not to mention $20,000 (sponsored by the TDK Corporation)\u0026nbsp;and a patent filing in their hands.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAs the team explained in their pitch last year, most spinal punctures require specialized expertise from medical professionals to place a needle into the spine and, even then, it is done blindly. Seeing this issue, Ethos Medical sought to alleviate the uncertainty by developing a system that shows the needle\u0026rsquo;s trajectory and location in real time with ultrasound. Their device has the potential to change the face of procedures such as epidurals and spinal taps, increasing safety for both patients and medical staff.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EProduct and Team Updates\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince winning the InVenture Prize, the team has been working fulltime on the development of Ethos Medical. All three members graduated in 2018, and they are dedicating all their time to bringing Ethos Medical to hospitals and medical schools.

Since last year\u0026rsquo;s competition, the team has onboarded several clinical advisors such as Dr. Rich Duszak, Emory University\u0026rsquo;s vice chair for Health Policy and Practice, and Dr. Mike Blaivas, an ultrasound expert and emergency physician at St. Francis Hospital in Columbus, Georgia.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFuture Endeavors\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAs the year comes to a close, the team reflected on their current and future plans.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Our business model will be to sell the devices to hospitals.

As far as the InVenture Prize goes, the team will be able to draw on some of the experiences gained from competing and taking home the grand prize. \u0026ldquo;Through the pitch practices, we learned how to pitch and tell a story, which will certainly come in handy throughout the course of our startup,\u0026rdquo; the team stated.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThoughts on the 2020 InVenture Prize\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWith the registration deadline a little over a month away, the members of Ethos Medical offered some advice on how to get going with the InVenture Prize process.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Find a genuine problem in the world and talk to the people who experience that problem the most in order to understand what they need in a solution.

Is the problem a real one? Is the pain high enough that buyers will pay for your solution? If so, how much will they be willing to pay? How is it different from similar solutions? And lastly, will the solution increase a company\u0026rsquo;s revenue, reduce expenses or both? These are the things I really have to know as a VC before making an investment decision. Your presentation needs to tell me that you\u0026rsquo;ve done your homework.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#2: Show Me Your Tenacity, Resiliency and Drive\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYou\u0026rsquo;re the kind of entrepreneur I want to hear from if you have made it your business to know your industry inside and out. You may have encountered roadblocks but you\u0026rsquo;ve rolled up your sleeves and remained in the trenches until you found a working solution to a real, significant problem. And while you know that past success is often indicative of future success, that doesn\u0026rsquo;t mean that you\u0026rsquo;ve never failed. If you\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Ehave\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;experienced failure, you extracted every single lesson you could from it to help you create future successes.

Or are they customers who genuinely believe that you have the solution they\u0026rsquo;ve been looking for and decided to take a chance on you? Will they refer you to others? This latter type of customer speaks volumes about the viability of your business, and I want to know how your solution has made things better for them.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#4: Be Prepared to Invest Time in Building a Relationship\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EEntering into a relationship with a VC can in some ways be like a marriage. In other words, can we live, grow and work together during the good times and the bad? And here\u0026rsquo;s the truth (99 percent of the time, at least): No VC worth his or her salt is going to invest in you right on the spot. Usually, it takes some time to evaluate compatibility, ask the in-depth questions and get clarifications. Stay focused on building the relationship. And don\u0026rsquo;t forget that VCs are busy just like you are. We hear pitches from\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003Ea lot\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;of entrepreneurs. If you haven\u0026rsquo;t heard back after a few days following a meeting, a polite and casual reach-out is fine. This might be in the form of a quick email that says something like, \u0026ldquo;Hey, I just wanted to touch base since I haven\u0026rsquo;t heard from you in a while.\u0026rdquo; Such a message often jogs my memory and can lead to reopened discussions. If I seemed excited at the pitch, remind me what I was excited about in the email. However, if a VC is taking more than one or two weeks to get back to you post-pitch, he or she has either forgotten about you or simply just isn\u0026rsquo;t interested.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E#5: Curate Your Pitch Deck\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBe mindful of what you do and don\u0026rsquo;t add to a pitch deck.

Also, skip the part about the \u0026ldquo;collective experience\u0026rdquo; of the team\u0026mdash;it\u0026rsquo;s useless. When you create your presentation, don\u0026rsquo;t just take a PowerPoint template, add some SmartArt and call it a day. Invest in your deck. Be creative. Show that you\u0026rsquo;ve given consideration to the personality of your brand and its voice.
