He will also discuss topics like “What is innovation?” “How do you get paid to innovate?” and more.

Currently, Brandon is an Entrepreneur in Residence at Detroit Innovate (an early-stage venture capital fund), an Adjunct Research Faculty Member of the Emergency Medicine Department at the University of Michigan, and also teaches the Entrepreneurship Practicum for the Center For Entrepreneurship at the University of Michigan.
