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.

#5 Inside the Legal Sector’s Growing Cybersecurity Problem | Steve Kuncewicz 27:03

15 hours ago27:03

27:03

Law firms have a cyber problem, and it’s bigger than most people think. We’re not just talking about ransomware or lost USB sticks. Insider risk, social engineering, and yes, deepfakes, are reshaping the threat landscape. And the legal sector, with all its sensitive data and overworked professionals is firmly in the firing line. In this episode, we break down why human error is still the #1 cause of breaches, how compliance fatigue is quietly opening the door to attackers, and why basic security hygiene often gets overlooked until it’s too late. We also get into the legal grey zones around AI and deepfakes. The tech is moving fast, but regulation? Not so much. That’s a problem, especially when your firm’s reputation (and client trust) is on the line. This isn’t just a checklist episode. We talk about culture, communication, and the moments of pause that could prevent your next incident. And we ask a tough but necessary question: is your firm secure… or just lucky? Expect blunt insights, practical takeaways, and a clear message, security doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does have to be intentional. 𝗘𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲?

#4 What to Do When Sh*t Hits the Fan (Real Incident Response Stories & Lessons) 1:04:52

5 weeks ago1:04:52

1:04:52

Cyberattacks aren’t what they used to be. It’s not just ransomware anymore. We’re seeing full-on extortion campaigns, with attackers naming and shaming victims on public forums. We break down real examples, including high-impact breaches in healthcare and critical infrastructure, showing how quickly things can spiral without a solid incident response plan in place. We also look at how AI and automation are changing the game. Not just for attackers, but for defenders too. These tools can help you respond faster, cut through the noise, and make smarter decisions when every second counts. This conversation isn’t only about tech. We talk about the human side of breaches, the stress, the public scrutiny (thanks, social media), and the pressure to meet regulatory demands quickly and cleanly. If you take one thing from this episode, it’s this: start simple, build from there, and don’t overcomplicate it. Whether you're running a team of 10 or 10,000, having a clear, tested plan and knowing who does what and when can make all the difference in a crisis. Expect practical takeaways, a no-BS tone, and a healthy dose of “get real” advice for anyone responsible for keeping their organisation safe and sane when the heat is on.

Today I am joined by Vaughan, SOC leader at CloudGuard. We're taking a deep dive into the challenges faced by Security Operations Centres (SOCs), particularly analyst burnout and the role of automation in alleviating these issues. The big question is: How exactly do you approach automation in something as complex and delicate as a SOC? We'll cover the traditional operations of SOCs, the impact of repetitive tasks on analysts, and how automation can enhance efficiency and allow for more complex tasks like threat hunting. So whether you're building a next-gen SOC, or you’re just curious, this episode is packed with insights. Let’s get into it.
