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.

PULSE, the podcast, produced by Pulse+IT and hosted by digital health legends Louise Schaper and George Margelis, is an enlightening, entertaining look at global digital health trends and current debates with our hosts’ deep takes on all the latest news in digital health.
Special episode : Today on Pulse, we’re doing something a little different. We’re joined by one of Australia’s most respected voices in digital health — Dr Amandeep Hansra. Amandeep is a GP, a health tech leader, an investor, and a long-time advocate for innovation in healthcare. She is the founder of Australian Medical Angels investment syndicate and Creative Careers in Medicine – a community for clinicians who support each other as they explore ‘creative’ ways to practice medicine differently. But earlier this year, the tables turned. In a sudden and deeply personal twist, Amandeep found herself not behind the stethoscope, but on the other side — as a patient, facing a series of debilitating symptoms that landed her in hospital. Within mere weeks she was back living her best life, but answers are still elusive. Today, Amandeep is generously joining us to share her journey — not just as a doctor, but as someone navigating the complexities, gaps, and opportunities in our health system firsthand. This is a story about communication, access, digital innovation, and what happens when the doctor becomes the patient.
