It's time for another EXPERT episode of Start Up the Science. In this episode, we have a delightful conversation about networking with Mike Richardson of Photonic Insights.
We have never met a better networker than Mike Richardson. We've personally seen him break a sweat from matchmaking because he was trying to match EVERYONE in the room. Not to mention, Mike is one of our hardest working mentors for AdMaCom.
Listen to this episode if you would like to understand the importance of human connections when it comes to networking and building your network. Mike gives his personal tips and tricks and gives a few examples from his personal experience including our recent collaboration - #HackCorona Hackathon (which he talks about in the podcast).

Episode 8 of Start Up the Science Season 2 features Cellugy! We had the chance to get Engagement Manager, Serena Leka, on Skype where we asked her about Cellugy, their journey as well as their unique pitching styles.
We had our first encounter with Cellugy during our 2019 AdMaCom where the team (led by Isabel Álvarez-Martos) walked away with the grand prize! Since then, they have been taking the world by storm with their amazing technology!
Cellugy is replacing fossil-based, single use plastics with biomaterials obtained 100% from renewable sources such as plant-waste. Not only did our AdMaCom jurors love Cellugy but it seems many people feel the same way. Since AdMaCom they've received an Innofounder Experienced Grant from the Innovation Fund Denmark as well as investment from Sky Ocean Ventures.
To learn more about Cellugy, visit their website at cellugy.com or their LinkedIn Page. You can also reach out to Isabel and Serena on their LinkedIn Pages:

To continue with our Expert Episode Series, this week we have Ulf Håkanson. He is the Chief Intellectual Property Officer at INL - the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory.
We met Ulf last year when he joined us as an AdMaCom mentor and he quickly became one of the favourites. This comes as no surprise as intellectual protperty is one of the most valuable assets of a startup.
In this episode, we talk to Ulf about IP strategies for deep tech startups with a focus on university spin-offs.
