\u00a0Weekly Roundup is a McNair Center series compiling and summarizing the week’s most important Innovation and Entrepreneurship news.<\/h3>\n

Here is what you need to know about entrepreneurship this week:<\/h4>\n

Big Problems for Small Practices<\/a><\/h3>\n

Catherine Kirby, Research Assistant, McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation<\/i><\/p>\n

Kirby examines the effects of the Affordable Care Act on entrepreneurship within health care. U.S. health care regulations currently hinder entrepreneurship among healthcare professionals, particularly\u00a0for doctors seeking to establish private practices.
\nKirby recommends that the U.S. implement policy changes that would better foster entrepreneurship among physicians. Measures like\u00a0restructuring reimbursement rates and improving quality of care requirements would reduce\u00a0the burdens that many private practices face\u00a0and enable physicians to start small medical practices.<\/p>\n

\n

U.S. early stage investment holds up, late stage plunges<\/a><\/h3>\n

Joanna Glasner and Gen\u00e9 Teare, Contributors, CrunchBase<\/i><\/p>\n

Venture capital investment slowed in the third quarter. Glasner and Teare write that estimates relying on end-of-quarter data may overstate declines in early stage investment.
\nCrunchbase compares its own projected funding totals with reported round count totals for the third quarter. Quarterly projected funds show bullish\u00a0early stage investment. When factoring in projections, Crunchbase\u2019s report for the third quarter finds that U.S. startups continue to enjoy high levels of strategic, seed and venture capital investment during seed and early stage rounds. However, there is a\u00a0steep decline in late stage investment, with fewer companies raising late stage rounds and investors pouring less money into Series C and later rounds.<\/p>\n

\n

Startups get bought not sold
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

Ken Elefant, managing director at Intel Capital, PE Hub<\/i><\/p>\n

Many entrepreneurs focus, sometimes shortsightedly, on the dream of reaching an IPO. As a result, start-ups often fail to develop important relationships with corporate investors. According to data from Dealogic, only five U.S.-based tech companies went public in the first eight months of 2016. To avoid going out of business or selling at a fire-sale price, Elefant recommends that entrepreneurs develop strong relationships with corporate investors early on so that a later\u00a0search for an acquisition offer\u00a0does not turn into a last-ditch attempt to save a sinking ship.
\nCorporate investors invest in companies for three reasons: to gain access to a technology, to break into other markets and to acquire. For start-ups, relationships with corporate investors offer viability and credibility. Additionally, these relationships provide development, support, \u00a0feedback and access to corporate engagement and funds. For companies that might not be on track for an IPO, strong relationships with corporate investors can lay the groundwork for an acquisition.<\/p>\n

\n

‘Shark Tank for Students’ Re-Defines Entrepreneurship
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

Christopher Putvinski, SAPVoice, Forbes<\/i><\/p>\n

Putvinski focuses on a new television series, The Social Innovation Series. This \u201cShark Tank\u00a0<\/i>or a Y Combinator for students\u201d\u00a0asks aspiring entrepreneurs to address problems in health or wellness in their own communities.
\nThe show grants $1,000 to students with promising and innovative ideas and a grand prize of $10,000\u00a0and the title of “SAP Teen Innovator” to the student with the winning idea.<\/p>\n

\n

How Blind Hiring Can Make Your Company More Inclusive
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

Frida Polli, Mattermark<\/i><\/p>\n


\n<\/i>In an editorial for Mattermark, Polli writes on how diverse companies outperform their non-diverse counterparts. Increasing diversity among employees not only promotes a more fair and equitable workplace environment but also offers a high return on investment for companies. See the\u00a0McKinsey & Company Report on how diversity improves company performance<\/a>.\u00a0Polli suggests that\u00a0\u201cblind auditioning\u201d is a possible solution for the lack of diversity in companies\u2019 workforces. Using\u00a0advanced analytics and assessment technologies, companies can ensure predictability and eliminate bias in their pre-hiring assessments of applicants. According to Polli, \u201cimproving diversity isn\u2019t just the right thing to do, it\u2019s the smart thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

And in startup news…<\/h3>\n

Google buys eye-tracking VR firm Eyelock
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

Grant Gross, Senior Editor for IDG News Service<\/i><\/p>\n

Eyefluence is a California-based startup focused on eye-interaction technologies in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) headsets. Serial entrepreneurs Jim Marggraff and David Stiehr founded Eyefluence in 2013.
\nGoogle acquired the startup on Tuesday. The acquisition reflects Google\u2019s growing interest in VR and AR technology. The deal further shows the growing potential of VR and AR for entrepreneurs interested in building successful tech startups.<\/p>\n

\n

Wavefront gathers $52 mil Series B
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

Iris Dorbian, Author, PE Hub<\/i><\/p>\n

Another California-based tech-based startup, Wavefront, recently reported raising $52 billion in Series B funding. Investors include big names such as Sequoia Capital, Sutter Hill Ventures and Tenaya Capital.
\nWavefront develops metrics monitoring services for cloud and modern application environments. Wavefront offers invaluable services to leaders in the software industry that rely on Cloud technology, such as Workday, Box, Lyft, Microsoft, Intuit and Groupon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
