Biography: Josh co-founded Lux Capital to support scientists and entrepreneurs who pursue counter-conventional solutions to the most vexing puzzles of our time in order to lead us into a brighter future. The more ambitious the project, the better—like, say, creating matter from light. Josh is a Director at Shapeways, Strateos, Lux Research, Kallyope, CTRL-labs, Variant, and Varda, and helped lead the firm's investments in Anduril, Planet, Echodyne, Clarifai, Authorea, Resilience and Hadrian.

Josh is a Westinghouse semi-finalist and published scientist. He previously worked in investment banking at Salomon Smith Barney and in capital markets at Merrill Lynch. In 2008 Josh co-founded and funded Kurion, a contrarian bet in the unlikely business of using advanced robotics and state-of-the-art engineering and chemistry to clean up nuclear waste. It was an unmet, inevitable need with no solution in sight. The company was among the first responders to the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. In February 2016, Veolia acquired Kurion for nearly $400 million—34 times Lux's total investment. Josh is a columnist with Forbes and Editor for the Forbes/Wolfe Emerging Tech Report. He has been invited to The White House and Capitol Hill to advise on nanotechnology and emerging technologies, and a lecturer at MIT, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia and NYU.

Digital biomarkers are changing the health and wellness space and are a big piece of the personalized nutrition puzzle.

Today we're welcoming Kevin See, Vice President of Research for Lux Research, a leading provider of tech-enabled research and advisory solutions, helping their clients achieve growth through technology innovation. In his role as VP, Research, Kevin leads the digital research team, focused on the emergence of digital technologies and applications in use cases ranging from Industry 4.0 to digital health and the future consumer. Here, he leads a team of analysts, sets content and go to market strategy, and supports strategic initiatives of clients. During his career at Lux, he has served as an analyst and managed multiple teams in the renewable energy space before launching research areas in AI, robotics, sensors, and the Internet of Things, ultimately leading to managing a broader research program around Digital Transformation. Key Moments From Kevin See's Interview -The impact of AI is being felt in the later stages of the innovation funnel. - Some large corporations are experimenting with topic modeling and NPL in the front end of the lifecycle, primarily in the drug discovery space; but overall, covid-19 hasn't really been an accelerant of digital R&D. -Data science is finding a foothold in the manufacturing sector, supply chain, and in the CPG world where AI is being used to better understand customers and those insights are trickling back into the innovation flow. - The vast majority of companies are not well-positioned to leverage the amount of data they have. - The smartest approach is to pinpoint the problem you want AI to solve, and to look for small wins first, "nail it before you scale it."

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways “Venture capital is all about investing in people who are inventing the future. The people who are inventing the future tend to be technologists, engineers, and scientists – you have to be able to speak their language.”In venture investing, 1-2 investments usually return the whole fundAbout a third of the investments will be total dudsAdvice for recent college grads interested in being an entrepreneur:“Build your brand, be differentiated, be indispensable, stay close to the money, find where the capital is flowing, and stay close to it.”Also read A LOT – “And be voracious in your reading. I think you have to be exposed to so many things. This allows you to develop your passion and then from your passion develop an expertise and be able to stand out.”Be good to people – you never know when you might need someoneThe single best trait of an entrepreneur is somebody that can tell a story“They are the people that recruit talent. They are the people that can raise money. They are the people that garner attention and win deals and that is what makes the venture capital business.” Josh’s biggest failures are the things that have the permanence of regret“Choices I made, or relationships that I under-invested in, or people that I didn’t spend enough time with who passed… those to me are the biggest failures”You can lose money in an investment and make it right back in another, but you won’t always get that second chance if you lose a friendship/relationshipRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgBloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz interviews Josh Wolfe, co-founder and managing partner at Lux Capital and a director at Shapeways, Strateos, Lux Research, Kallyope, CTRL-labs and Variant.

One of the most difficult challenges within technology scouting and strategic advice is anticipating trends. When will a particular technology emerge from labs into the marketplace in an impactful way? Current approaches, which include tracking startup funding, investments, acquisitions, patent filings, and monitoring news, are either too slow (that is, they give an actionable signal too late) or they suffer from too much noise. To address this issue, we have developed a new, 100% data-driven methodology that gives a clearer signal about rising innovation years ahead of conventional methods of monitoring technology. The Lux Tech Signal is powered by our newly developed Lux Intelligence Engine and draws upon datasets that include intellectual property (IP) inflection points and early-stage project funding. In this report, we apply the Lux Tech Signal to quantify how “hot” are 19 different areas of digital innovation, ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) to health sensors to drones to Internet of Things (IoT) security.

Chemical and oil companies risk major disruptions if they ignore accelerating trends away from oil as a transportation fuel, its major use. Regional change – for instance, a sharp decrease in oil demand in Europe – will make European refinery and downstream chemical production redundant as oil companies compete for the commodity chemical space. Alternatives will break oil’s transportation monopoly no later than the 2030s, and companies that fail to modify their business model aggressively in the next decade face extinction. This webinar details threats to oil as a transportation fuel and projects flattening demand based on maturing competitive technologies rather than the uncertain promise of regulations. While most industries define “long term” as three to five years, the long payoff of oil and chemical production assets requires a longer view.
