Michael R. Bielski, J.D., M.S. is a medical device, biotechnology, and agtech entrepreneur with deep experience guiding high‑technology innovations from early concept through commercialization. As an inventor and founder, Michael has led technologies through conception, prototyping, and patenting; product development and manufacturing; and ultimately to clinical adoption, licensing revenue, and commercial sales.
Michael works closely with clinician‑inventors to successfully out‑license medical technologies to industry. He has developed a structured licensing process aligned with the in‑licensing due diligence requirements of medical device companies, resulting in multiple completed licenses. This process includes validation of unmet clinical needs, refinement of proposed technical solutions, professional development of marketing and diligence materials, and highly targeted outreach to strategic industry partners.
In addition, Michael advises technology companies on building and operating innovation programs designed to identify, evaluate, and in‑license or acquire external technologies that support product development pipelines. These initiatives often also serve as the foundation for scalable, revenue‑generating out‑licensing programs.
Michael is an intellectual property strategy expert, working with companies at all stages to align patent portfolios with core technical and competitive advantages. He has overseen the filing and management of hundreds of patent applications and is himself a named inventor on various medical device patents and applications.
