ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of the Mission Driven Podcast, I speak with Dr. Legena Henry, Founder and CEO of Rum and Sargassum about when an unexpected result sparked the innovation that lead to the development of a local biofuel.
It was a moment that came during student-led summer research project in Barbados, and it was “lucky mistake” became the foundation for a venture working to transform a regional environmental crisis into a renewable transportation solution.
It is a great conversation that also dives into the process for commercialization inside a university system, negotiating IP and royalties (as part of a spin-out), and navigating entrepreneurship as a family.
