  49. Goals • Build an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the NHLBI domain – skills development • Identify the best technologies across all 5 UC campuses • Incubate 30-40 of the most promising technologies within the center towards a commercially rewarding exit • Sustainability

  50. Why Did We Institute a Business Review Panel? • Each campus has the responsibility to manage its own exits • We agreed there isn’t a dataset that exists that would allow the selection of an optimal exit strategy for all five campuses • Best approach would be to run an experiment and use the data to guide us in the future • The data would best be evaluated by experts outside the Center reporting to the EC and not the Center
