Profile: Emmaus Medical
To date, there are no proven treatments available for sickle
cell disease (SCD), a highly debilitating illness that afflicts
4 million people worldwide. When Dr. Yukata
Niihara, who has been studying SCD for most of his medical career,
developed and licensed a highly effective oral treatment, he
partnered with his patent attorney to form Emmaus
Medical, a self-funded (and grant supported) business. The company
is now poised for FDA approval, and it plans to provide its product
as a medical food by the end of this year. This could position Emmaus
as owning the core solution for effectively treating SCD for the
first time in the disease's history.

University Managing Your Team: July 24 & 25
When investors, recruiters and entrepreneurs intersect to match
a startup with experienced business management, it's a delicate
dance of communication, ego and power struggle that can make or
break a company. Many startups usually have a standard set of weak
spots in their initial management team--a lack of marketing experience,
little to no background in launching or heading a corporation, or
technologists that cannot juggle a business on their own. This workshop
will address such topics as compensation and incentives, management
skills, ensuring team follow-through and teamwork, and legal obligations.
The workshop will also touch upon establishing and working with
a board of directors. Speakers Include: Jim Jonassen (Riviera
Partners), Greg Bonfiglio (Anthem Ventures), Michelle Jackman (MJ
Enterprises and Adventures), David McKenzie (Ernst & Young), Ivan
Rosenberg (Frontier Associates), and Bruce May (Stradling Yocca
Carlson & Rauth)

July
30: The Carmel Group presents, Advertising in a Digital Age
Other than broadcasting itself, new technology promises
to change advertising, perhaps more than any other industry. Digital
video recorders, video-on-demand, electronic program guide, datacasting,
and interactive TV technologies promise to usher in a new advertising
age. An age that will be defined by new forms of advertising such
as product placement, program sponsorships, story line placement,
and targeted advertising. This forum will take these topics and
provide a roadmap for anyone interested in understanding what these
technologies mean both for advertisers and content providers. The
future is a bright one for those who know how to navigate it.
