Maha Yahya (PhD, Director, Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Centre) Maysoon Pachachi (Film director) give a talk for the Middle East Studies Centre. Chaired by Professor Eugene Rogan (St. Antony's College, Oxford). Iraq and Lebanon: When the Arab world rose up against failed governance in 2011, Lebanon and Iraq stood out as exceptions to the regional trend. Yet by the end of the decade, massed popular demonstrations would demand the fall of the regime in both countries. With their electoral systems, the Iraqis and Lebanese did not confront deeply entrenched dictators. Rather, protestors rose against sectarian politics and called for a new order based on citizenship without reference to religion. Speaker biographies: Maha Yahya is director of the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center, where her work focuses broadly on political violence and identity politics, pluralism, development and social justice after the Arab uprisings, the challenges of citizenship, and the political and socio-economic implications of the migration/refugee crisis.

She was also the founder and editor of the MIT Electronic Journal of Middle East Studies. Yahya has worked with international organizations and in the private sector as a consultant on projects related to socioeconomic policy analysis, development policies, cultural heritage, poverty reduction, housing and community development, and postconflict reconstruction in various countries including Lebanon, Pakistan, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. She has served on a number of advisory boards including the MIT Enterprise Forum of the Pan Arab Region and the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies. Yahya is the author of numerous publications, including most recently Unheard Voices: What Syrian Refugees Need to Return Home (April 2018); The Summer of Our Discontent: Sects and Citizens in Lebanon and Iraq (June 2017); Great Expectations in Tunisia (March 2016); Refugees and the Making of an Arab Regional Disorder (November 2015); Towards Integrated Social Development Policies: A Conceptual Analysis (UN-ESCWA, 2004), co-editor of Secular Publicities: Visual practices and the Transformation of National Publics in the Middle East and South Asia (University of Michigan Press, 2010) and co-author of Promises of Spring: Citizenship and Civic Engagement in Democratic Transitions (UN-ESCWA, 2013).

I caught up with Dr. Emma Fauss, co-founder & CEO of Medical Informatics Corp. (MIC), to talk about her her role at MIC, their business and it's relationship with Intel, and the amazing work both MIC and Intel have done in response to the COVID19 global pandemic to help hospitals cope with challenges related to the pandemic which most have never had to deal with till now. Emma Fauss is an engineer, researcher and entrepreneur - she is the co-founder and CEO of Medical Informatics Corp. and a Rice Alliance and DFJ Mercury Venture Fellow. She completed a BE degree in Chemical Engineering from The Cooper Union, her PhD from the University of Virginia in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and her MBA from Rice University with a concentration in healthcare. Emma also consults with early-stage entrepreneurs within the Texas Medical Center, as well as Rice University on business strategies and, as an advisor with the MIT Enterprise Forum, consults on biotechnology, nanotechnology, and risk assessment. Our conversation kicks off with some personal background and the journey which lead up to Emma co-founding MIC with her colleague Dr.Craig Rusin in 2010 and the decade since, as well as a peek into what a day in the life of Emma Fauss looks like today, the amazing journey by which Intel came into the picture and became your partner and lessons learned along the way. We also discuss how something as simple as a series of phone calls by Intel’s Bryce Olson to hospitals asking, “What do you need” led to the Intel/MIC collaboration to put your technology into hospitals in record time and completely transform the Intensive Care Unit environment such that it is now literally saving lives. Emma shares insights into what it took for MIC and Intel to put together and run their world leading initiative called “Scale to Serve”, a programme designed to leverage the combined strengths of MIC and Intel to rapidly deploy remote ICUs to 100 US Hospitals using MIC’s Sickbay™ platform. The MIC Sickbay platform is designed to help hospitals rapidly expand intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity and create more efficient care of the most critical patients while also reducing risk of COVID-19 exposure for critical care providers who are at a higher risk of exposure due to the nature of their work. Tune in now for all of these amazing topics and more. This podcast was made in partnership with Intel.

Ukończył London South Bank University, Szkołę Biznesu Politechniki Warszawskiej (MBA) oraz Leadership Academy for Poland.Notatki z odcinkaRozmowę z Maciejem Andrzej rozpoczyna od podkreślenia faktu, że ostatnio przeszedł znaczącą przemianę w swoim życiu zawodowym. Proces projektowania życia stara się zamknąć w ostatnich 20 latach. Ten czas doprowadził go do momentu, w którym zaczął zastanawiać się nad celowością pewnych działań.Nasz gość zawsze dostrzegał ogromną wartość w rozmowie z drugim człowiekiem. Podczas studiów na Politechnice podjął pracę w klubie Stodoła, gdzie organizował koncerty. Było to dla niego wyzwanie i duża odpowiedzialność. Kolejnym krokiem w jego dopiero raczkującej karierze była praca w butiku konsultingowym. Celem, który chciał osiągnąć było zarobienie pieniędzy na “bardziej sensowne studia”. Udało się. Wyjechał do Londynu aby studiować biznes i finanse. Tam zaangażował się w budowę polskiego kluby Toast Makers - inicjatywie, która skupiała się na krzewieniu wystąpień publicznych. Andrzej uświadomił sobie, jak bardzo jest to dla niego fascynujący temat. Niestety, wraz z powrotem do Polski odsunął go na dalszy plan. Pracował w konsultingu, następnie “przesiadł się” do korporacji gdzie osiągał znaczne sukcesy. Przez ponad 8 lat pracował w PZU. Czas tam spędzony nauczył go spoglądania na klientów i ich potrzeby z zupełnie innej perspektywy. Jednym z przełomowych dla Andrzeja momentów było uczestnictwo w Leadership Academy for Poland. Ogromną wartością była różnorodność ludzi z którymi miał tam styczność. Dzięki rozmowom miał okazję poszerzyć swoje horyzonty i zmienić perspektywę. Między innymi dzięki zaangażowaniu w te warsztaty, nasz gość znalazł to, co sprawia mu ogromną satysfakcję. Coś, co rozwija z przyjemnością. Jest to storytelling, tworzenie przemówień biznesowych ale też pomoc przy tworzeniu pitch decków dla startupów. Andrzej chciałby abyście zapamiętali jak ważna jest różnorodność. Próbujmy różnych rzeczy, rozmawiajmy z wieloma osobami, poszerzajmy swoją perspektywę. Podkreśla też wartość sposobu, w jaki potrafimy opowiedzieć o nas samych, o tym co robimy, o naszym produkcie - komunikacja może być jednym z głównych kluczy do sukcesu.

As part of our 40th-anniversary celebration, we're catching up with successful entrepreneurs who have a #MITEFStory and asking them about the past, present, and future both for them and for the MIT Enterprise Forum. Terry Hsiao is a serial entrepreneur, advisor, and investor.  His latest startup, Hook Mobile, a mobile cloud messaging services provider that innovated in the area of virtual local numbers was acquired by Kalerya in August 2018. Al Mink, Managing Director at Systems Spirit and former Board Member at MIT Enterprise Forum Washington DC & Baltimore caught up with Terry about his involvement in the MIT Enterprise Forum, how he got his company InphoMatch-Mobile 365 (acquired by Sybase) funded, the use cases for Hook Mobile (turns out in Hollywood, some folks didn't want their real mobile numbers used by Uber) and his thoughts on the entrepreneur ecosystem today vs the early 2000s. "The term sheet and the VC world used to be a black box. Nobody would explain to you what these terms meant. Nowadays, with everything being on the internet, everything is transparent. The investors no longer have these advantages - they lose the ability to screw the entrepreneurs. That's really progress." Many thanks to Terry for telling his #MITEFStory and giving us some food for thought on the MIT Enterprise Forum as an organization and to Al for facilitating this great interview.

Woody Hartman is VP of Operations at Lyft. As the person responsible for taking Lyft's operations from those of a startup to those of a growth company, he offers special insights into some of the challenges — and ways to overcome them — that startups face that either must grow fast or will die young. He also brings a unique perspective on such topical issues as the future of work, the gig economy, and the impact of autonomous vehicles — not to mention how to successfully position a young company against a well-established competitor with a lot more name recognition — a feat that Lyft has somehow managed to pull off in just a few short years. So we were especially excited to chat with Woody for this, our 94th MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge podcast.

My colleague at Walnut Ventures, Adam de Sola Pool connected me with four promising startups from Poland participating in the MIT Enterprise Forum Poland contest in Cambridge. This created an opportunity to interview four really promising young founders. Being a founder of a startup in a place like Poland where the infrastructure to support new companies is just starting is really challenging. The four young founders have all demonstrated impressive determination to bring their startup’s products to remarkably advanced stages. In this inspiring chat you will meet Sergejs (Sergey) who studied economics but is making the oil patch greener, Tomasz who trained in robotics but helped invent a new way to train cardiologists, Rafal whose marketing platform has been adopted by Citibank and brilliant Katarzyna (Kate) who invented a way to make counterfeiting of products nearly impossible. Sergejs Jakimous (pronounced Sergey Yakimov) CEO & Co-founder of Vortex Oil Engineering Tomasz Dziwinski, Ph.D., Co-Founder of Medical Simulation Technologies Rafal Kosno, Co-Founder & CEO of Waywer, a Marketing Platform Using Text with Video & Audio Katarzyna Sawicz, Ph.D., Founder of InnovaLab, a New Way to Make Branded Products Hard to Counterfeit

One reason Dropbox is so successful is that the company attracts and holds great people. While no company ever “wins” the war for talent — the war never actually ends — successful young companies do in fact know how to win the key battles. Learn how Dropbox does it — in this interview with Dropbox Founder and CEO Drew Houston, conducted by Jason Pontin, Editor-in-Chief, MIT Technology Review and Chairman of the MIT Enterprise Forum.

Bernd Schoner is the author of "The Tech Entrepreneur's Survival Guide (McGraw-Hill, May 2014), a comprehensive look at the challenges and rewards of starting a tech company. In this interview he discusses his book and specifically the challenge of how startups can partner with larger companies first through strategic alliances and ultimately through acquisition -- without smothering the innovative fire that makes tech startups potentially so valuable to the acquiring company. The interview was conducted in advance of a June 11, 2014 MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge event titled, "Acquisition or Alliance -- Which Is Better?" (Originally released 5/24/14)

Excerpts of a recent panel discussion offered by the MIT Enterprise Forum in a Get Smart program  entitled "Angel Investing. It's Right for Many Startups.  Is it Right for Yours?" The program was hosted by Nutter, McClennen and Fish, LLP, a Boston-based  law firm with corporate, litigation and IP practice, and  was held on October 30, 2012,  at the law firm's Louis Brandeis conference center, in downtown Boston. Panelists were from Boston Harbor Angels,  a Boston-based angel investing group made up of business leaders who invest in high-growth, early-stage companies. Since 2004 the group has made investments in companies in medical devices, IT, consumer products, business products, specialty materials, Internet, aviation, etc.    In the session, you'll hear from Mic Williams, the founder and president of Boston Harbor Angels.  He has been an investor for over 34 years, with investments ranging from commercial real estate to manufacturing, mining, movies, lumber products, ships and a television enterprises. Since he founded the Boston chapter of Keiretsu Forum in 2004 and then Boston Harbor Angels in 2006, he has personally invested in more than a dozen "portfolio” companies.  You will also hear from Jeff Arnold, a member of Boston Harbor Angels and the CEO of Arnold Strategies, LLC, which assists early stage and growth companies in strategy, marketing, financing, organizational development and strategic partnerships. He was formerly a CEO of multiple technology and life science companies who raised over $140 million in venture capital and public financings and achieved four exits through acquisition and IPO. Jeff is a mentor to early stage companies at the MIT Venture Mentoring Society, on the grant review board at the MIT Deshpande Center and an investor with Boston Harbor Angels and Mass. Med. Angels. He was formerly Chairman of the Greater Boston Chapter of the American Heart Association. He received a BSEE from MIT in 1972. And, finally, you will hear from Bill McPhee, also a member of Boston Harbor Angels who currently serves as the director of outsourced business development services for Health Advances LLC, a life science strategy consulting boutique.  Bill has 25 years experience in transactions, strategy and operations consulting and venture capital. He has served as founder and managing general partner of Mi3 Venture Partners, an early stage life science fund; founder and managing director of Lucas, McPhee & Co., an international strategy firm; and, a consultant at Bain & Co.  You can read more about the panelists and the MIT enterprise form of Cambridge get smart program at http://www.mitforumcambridge.org/events/get-smart-on-angel-funding Here's a little background . . .  Angel investment in startups totaled over $22 billion in 2011 and funded some 66,000 companies, according to UNH’s Center for Venture Research. With average funding-round sizes well over $500k, angel groups are increasingly joining forces with other investors to bring that average closer to $1.5 Million. So says the Halo Report, which also notes that Internet, healthcare and mobile/telecom companies are the largest beneficiaries of those monies. So who are angel investors? Many are former successful entrepreneurs, who provide advice, in addition to money, to target companies. Angels, however, can also be individuals of lower wealth and/or with non-entrepreneurial background who are drawn to startups for a higher rate of return than might be expected in the stock market, notes the Kauffman Foundation. The popular press suggests that venture funding is the key to every startup’s success. But that sort of funding comes at a high price in terms of equity and performance expectations. Angels expect equity and performance, too—yet at levels better geared to the realistic trajectories of many startups. Angels, according to the Wall Street Journal, are a “good funding source to consider after you’ve tapped your friends and relatives.”
