Discover what sets up a spin-out team for maximum success as a seasoned investor, recruiter and university TTO expert share practical insights on building strong spin-out teams and CEOs. The investor will overview what makes spin-out teams investible, followed by discussions on when to consider “buying” an external CEO (why you might consider external CEO, what to look for, how to support them, and how to align incentives) versus explore when to “make” a researcher into a CEO, by developing technical founders into effective leaders, and how tech transfer offices can guide that transition.

This webinar is organised by the Spin-off SIG. Join the Spin-off SIG to stay informed.
