Our ambition is to harvest the collective capabilities across commercialisation teams with investors, entrepreneurs and professional services to transform how we support commercialisation and spin-out.
We aim to achieve this by building a common understanding among all stakeholders and by creating toolkits, playbooks, guidance, templates, and standardisation to help streamline the commercialisation process.
Playbooks will incorporate mixed media and be co-created with input from their target audiences, including researchers, lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, and technology transfer offices (TTOs).
The templates will be standardised and co-created with lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs and technology transfer offices. We are aiming for 80:20 rule – for template use and the terms within. Together, the Playbooks and Templates will create a Deal Readiness Toolkit, designed to be the primary resource for TTOs across the UK. This toolkit will be endorsed by lawyers, investors, and their associations, and will be trusted by founders and recommended by entrepreneurs.
Our co-created, standardised, and harmonised suite of templates aim to eliminate unnecessary negotiations, speeding up and enhancing the efficiency of deal-making. Moving beyond the USIT guide, we aim to provide deeper insights into the commercial terms for spinouts and start-ups.
TTOs (Technology Transfer Offices): Designed for TT Teams of all sizes, the Deal Readiness Toolkit will become the ‘go-to’ resource to simplify your processes and expedite technology transfer.
Investors: Maximise efficiency and enhance deal flow with universities using our standardised templates, making it easier to connect and invest in promising ventures.
Law Firms: With open-access to the Deal Readiness Toolkit, will enable you to free up time to focus on guiding companies towards spin-out success while reducing upfront legal costs.
Founders: Through the playbooks, you will gain a clear understanding of the investment process, speed up deals, and move forward with confidence. Our tools help to de-risk the process, giving you peace of mind as you grow your business.
Start-ups: Unlock value by reducing legal expenses with our accessible, standardised licensing templates. Trusted by the industry, they make legal processes affordable and efficient.
– Templates for the ‘How’: Practical, ready-made documents that founders and investors can easily adopt, streamlining the entire process.
– Playbooks for the ‘Why’: Detailed guidance that explains the rationale behind the terms, helping all parties understand the logic and benefits.
– Trusted Resources: Our toolkit provides credible, reliable information designed to help founders and investors navigate the complexities of spinouts and startups with confidence.
– Familiarity, Speed, and Efficiency: By reducing ambiguity and streamlining terms, founders and investors can focus on growth, while minimising time-consuming negotiations.
– Accelerating Deal Closure: Our aim is to shorten the time from sign-off to deal completion, allowing businesses to launch faster.
