We tackle the commercialisation challenges faced by university spin-outs and address the funding gap from early-stage innovation to scale-up by:
-
Unlocking capital through innovative funding structures, including non-dilutive financing
-
Creating tailored commercialisation pathways supported by professionals with strong business and industry expertise.
-
Advancing investor knowledge through in-depth sector research and the development of compelling theses.
We pair technical founders and/or investors with a dedicated team of fellows to execute projects with clearly defined timelines and deliverables. Our fellows include MBA students and alumni from prestigious institutions such as LBS, INSEAD, and Oxbridge, many of whom have experience at leading venture capital firms, strategy consultancies, investment banks, and corporate enterprises.
