Start Up the Science

This season, we will be airing “Expert Episodes”! Every few weeks we will invite experts in different areas that are relevant to startups and entrepreneurs to come and impart their wisdom on the show. We’ll have experts from many different fields such as IP, legal, pitching, business, investment, funding and more!

This week, on our very first Expert Episode, we invited INAM’s very own Ferdinand Bartels to come and share business advice based on his experience with mentoring deep tech startups.

Currently, Ferdinand is the Managing Director of SPECS and is the Head of the Board at INAM. He is heavily involved with the Advanced Materials Competition (AdMaCom) program and is consistently voted as best mentor every year.
