In this episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with David Brem, Managing Director of the University of Michigan’s Zell Lurie Commercialization Fund. David offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a student-led endowment fund focused on early-stage, sector-agnostic investments primarily in the Michigan ecosystem. He shares insights on their unique, founder-first investment approach, how they navigate pre-seed to Series A venture opportunities, and the rigorous due diligence process involving qualitative analysis over pure numbers. David also discusses his roles with global VC networks including Electro Ventures, the London Venture Capital Network, and Level Up Ventures, illustrating how he bridges U.S., European, and Australian venture ecosystems with a special focus on mobility and transportation tech. Highlights include deep dives into emerging trends like eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), smart city infrastructure, and safety innovations in aviation technology. Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on how diverse expertise—from military intelligence and management consulting to academic ventures—shapes David’s investment thesis and community-building efforts. The episode also explores the importance of networking, adding value in the startup ecosystem, and practical advice for aspiring investors or entrepreneurs navigating the venture capital world. With stories of successes, challenges, and future outlooks, this episode is a must-listen for innovators, founders, and investors aiming to understand the intersection of academia, technology, and venture capital in today’s dynamic landscape.

With the Infinity Stones destroyed there's only one desperate course of action left to the embittered Avengers: to snatch the Infinity Stones out of their own timeline from a point before they were destroyed.
Is this the Time Heist of a lifetime, a way to give our heroes the closure they all deserve, or is it just a cheap way of revisiting all the best bits from previous films?
Join Geoff and Paul as they discuss this very topic AND MORE in Part 2 of this EPIC MCU Corner to Corner Endgame podcast!

We're back with another review episode! This time, we're looking at ... Eternals! Since the movie was released in November 2021 reception has been divided amongst fans and critics alike. But why so contentious? Is it because it features new characters we don't yet know? Is it too sprawling? Is there not enough action? Is it too concerned with emotion and thought rather than plot? How well does it handle its exploration of the human condition through its large cast of characters and history-spanning storyline? More importantly, what did our intrepid Marvel Adventurers Geoff and Paul think of the movie? Tune in to find out, but be warned... This episode of the MCU Corner to Corner podcast may shock you even more than our review of Captain America The Winter Soldier!

Scott Lang is back in the ant-suit and ready to save the world! Or at least he's trying desperately to make sure the Feds don't catch him breaking his house arrest or stealing valuable tech or liaising with 'war criminals' whilst at the same time trying to get his brand new security company up and running and spend quality time with his daughter. All of which is proving tricky, given that the Pyms have roped him in to help rescue the OG Wasp from the mysterious Quantum Realm and an enigmatic 'Ghost' seems intent on knocking him down at every opportunity. And everybody seems to stick the word 'quantum' in front of every other word in an effort to make him look dumb. Paul & Geoff both agree that the first Ant-Man movie was hilarious, but what did they make of this sequel? Listen to our podcast right now and find out!
