This season of Land of the Giants – The Disney Dilemma – focuses on Disney’s ability to weather the ups and downs of the business cycle and changing tastes and explores what has kept it successful for over 100 years. The entertainment giant has leveraged nostalgia and its intellectual property to build a beloved brand, but after an acquisition spree that included Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox, can it sus ...

It didn’t all change in March 2020. Not really. The UK high street has been in the throes of a gradual revolution for decades. From the rise of ecommerce, to the birth of mobile, social commerce, and a growing emphasis on experience, change has been underway for a while. In fact for many, the pandemic has acted as a wake-up call. Digital transformation was no longer a ‘nice to have’ but a matter of survival. Necessity sparked innovation and customers are enjoying more flexibility and conveni ...

In this episode I talk to Eli Velasquez about creating startup ecosystems, commercializing research, especially when it's not necessarily venture-backable, and how the US government thinks about startups.
Eli is the head of Venture Development at VentureWell - a non profit organization that funds and trains faculty and student innovators to create businesses. VentureWell helps run I-corps, which talked to Errol Arkilic about in Episode 15. Currently, Eli runs all over the world helping create fertile ground of startup ecosystems and in the past he's worked with intellectual property both in industry at Boeing and Academia at Texas Tech. Basically he's working on meta-meta innovation: creating new ways to make places where it's easier for people to create new things.
Major Takeaways
- Too much government aid can turn companies into zombies because their customer becomes the grant-giver instead of money-paying customers.
- At the end of the day ecosystems happen because people's mindsets change
- On average bringing a technology to market on average takes more than five years.
