Many entrepreneurs emerge from the university setting. Companies led by both student and faculty founders have become commonplace. Logistically, though, have you ever stopped to consider how this works?

This week on The CEO Next Door we demystify tech transfer offices with our guest, Randy Eager. We dive into invention licensing, equity agreements, product commercialization, grant opportunities, and intellectual property assignment.

Mike Mayer CEO Next Door

For the past 25 years, I've led digital transformations for billion-dollar B2B companies including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Crescent Electric and U.S. Electrical Services.

In 2020, I had an ‘aha’ moment. There were no agencies specializing in digital marketing for distributors and manufacturers, so I built one!

I also host a podcast called the CEO Next Door where we have weekly conversations with groundbreaking entrepreneurs who share their journeys to success.
