Opinion piece argues academic researchers lack pitching skills to become startup founders
A commentary contends that many promising healthcare innovations developed at universities and medical centers never reach the market because their inventors—scientists, engineers, and clinicians—lack experience pitching to investors or building companies. It cites examples including an autism researcher's AI-based therapy game, a tumor microenvironment discovery, a miniaturized imaging magnet, and a pediatric cardiac care innovation created by an MBA-MD team.
