APO TECHNOLOGIES: FROM INVENTION DISCLOSURE TO FAILED STARTUP
August 8, 2022
According to some statistics, 90% of startups fail. Dr. Fiedler's example, "APO Technologies" illustrates how this looks in practice; how a combination of misguided decisions, difficult environment, and simple bad luck doomed an initially promising business idea.
Topics Discussed:
• The original idea
• Invention disclosure and navigating the Pitt commercialization pipeline
• Incubator/accelerator capital and federal funding
• Executing the business plan, setbacks and stalled momentum
• Running out of enthusiasm (and money)
• Shutting down the (ad)venture
• Lessons learned
With Dr. Goeran Fiedler from the University of Pittsburgh Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology
