Todd Maurer · Founder
Most spinouts don’t fail on the science, they fail on market entry and scale. I’ve spent 25+ years on the market-entry side, building, scaling and investing in ventures across Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
Venture. At Edunomix I take PhD founders and university spinouts from research credibility to investor-ready company: whether the opportunity is real, how to sequence capital, and how to reach a fundable milestone without burning two years. PROVE is our commercialization framework.
Talent. As CEO of Versatile PhD, the doctoral community that has served 120,000+ PhDs and 130+ universities since launch, I see where research talent meets industry, and where it stalls.
Foundation. Peregrine in Hong Kong during China’s first state-enterprise listings; founding partner at Lotus Asset Management (US$2M to US$500M AUM in under two years); Asia corporate development at Apollo Global; trade economics at KOTRA.
MA International Affairs, Columbia · BA Economics, UCLA · Postgraduate study, Beijing and Nanjing Universities · Mandarin, Korean, Russian, and a few others on a good day.
