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.

Triggering warning: This episode features a discussion about stillbirth and abortion.

In today's video, we'll talk with Kate Munro, who will take us through her incredible journey with IVF and many years of trying to get pregnant. Her story is not smooth sailing as she talks about her experience with multiple pregnancies including heartbreaking stillbirth and late medical abortion/termination. First and foremost, we would like to thank her for being so honest and open in sharing her story.

After having a successful first pregnancy using IVF, she endured the agony of stillbirth and having to terminate her 3rd pregnancy at 18 weeks due to genetic abnormalities. She did not give up hope, however, and continued down the IVF route to conceive her son in her fourth pregnancy. Kate will go on to describe her journey to IVF as a rollercoaster ride full of emotions. We'll learn about her first, second, third, and fourth pregnancies, as well as the experiences she had with each.

This episode is part of a 2 part series. As you will hear, Kate and her husband choose to donate the remaining live embryos she has to another mum over East. We learn more about this process during the second episode.

In this episode of Unscripted with Alex, we chat with Whitney Tuna, Business Owner, Muay Thai Fighter and Mum, about staying fit during pregnancy. As a parent we want our children to live happy and healthy lives. One of the best ways we can help them do that is by being a great example for them and showing up. So how can we expect our children to live an active fit lifestyle if we ourselves are not making fitness a priority in our own lives. But having a baby is a massive game changer. Finding time to exercise can be tricky, finding energy & motivation to exercise might be even harder. Then there’s the recovery period for a woman after having a baby and everyone’s recovery will look different.
