In this talk, Jordan Amadio makes a compelling case for how applying startup principles to neuroscience innovations can quickly identify ideas with high potential from those that don't.

As a neurosurgery resident at Emory University and co-founder of NeuroLaunch, the world’s first neuroscience startup accelerator, Jordan Amadio believes in applying startup principles to neuroscience innovations. To date, NeuroLaunch has graduated 11 startups that have created over $15 million in value.

His current research interests lie at the interface of emerging technologies and the human nervous system. A graduate of Princeton University, he earned his M.D. degree from Harvard Medical School and a master’s in business administration from Harvard Business School.

In 2014, he was honored with the American Medical Association Excellence in Medicine award and was named “40 under 40” by the Atlanta Business Chronicle and MedTechBoston.
