New Venture Creation 1: First steps towards spin outs and start up companies 20-22 September 2016
Creating spin out companies can be a challenging and immersive experience. This course gives a framework for embracing this exciting challenge. The course enables delegates to develop practical skills in selecting appropriate opportunities, developing a compelling value proposition, testing the market, and pitching. It also deals with managing the basic administrative aspects of company formation. It is particularly useful for those who are developing their case management skills and looking to understand more about the complexities of this area.
Suitable for: The course is suitable for knowledge exchange and commercialisation professionals working in academic, public sector research or NHS innovation environments. Delegates might have significant experience in KEC, but little practical experience of spin-out formation and may be looking to develop this activity in their institution. The course is an ideal primer for NVC2 which deals with these issues in greater detail and gives additional insight in how to form a high-growth company with VC finance. It is also a useful next step for delegates who may have already attended Fundamentals of Technology Transfer or Research Contracts course.
