Aeir was born out of a clear need. Many academics want to mobilize their research into serious economic and social impact. But it's easier said than done! How do you know which direction to travel in? What sort of perils lay around the corner? How to navigate challenges? How to prioritize your efforts? What sort of tools you need and where to get them? You need someone to help you along the way. Someone who knows the route. Who's been there before. A competent guide. An experienced mentor. Dr. Adam Pidlisecky is just such a guide. He's travelled the path from academic research to commercial venture before. And he's returned with a newfound appreciation for the journey and an understanding of how to navigate it. Over the last couple of years, he's been supporting dozens of academics like Valerie H Taylor MD, PhD, ICD.D, Chad Bousman, Jordan Smith and many others toward entrepreneurial success through the University of Calgary's Aeir program powered by the Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking - UCalgary, the international Creative Destruction Lab, and others. For aspiring entrepreneurs, having mentors like Adam by their side makes their journey that much better. 🎉🎉🎉 Many thanks to Adam! 🎉🎉🎉
