Is this course right for me?

  • This course is for knowledge transfer professionals with at least 18 months’ technology transfer experience gained in an academic, public sector research or NHS innovation environment
  • A working knowledge of contracts and IP management will be assumed
  • It enables delegates to develop practical skills in scrutinising a business plan, understanding the different sources of finance available, critiquing and mentoring pitching. It will enable delegates to understand the key terminology in new venture creation, including term sheet and their consequences understanding the basics of company valuation, the role of directors, supporting the company post-incorporation. So, it’s likely to be of most value for those who are developing their case management skills and looking to embrace this aspect of KT
  • Those who have attended a PraxisAuril ‘core’ course (e.g. Fundamentals of Technology Transfer or Research Contracts) might find this to be a valuable next step, especially if they are seeking to develop practical hand-on skills in how to determine whether projects are suitable for new company formation and how to start a new company
  • Delegates might have significant experience in TT/KT, but little practical experience of new venture formation and may be looking to kick start this activity in their institution

Why should I attend this course?

  • Company creation is a key element in the mix of instruments that allow Universities to deliver impact from their funding inputs and research outputs
  • Forming new companies can be a key enabler of developing new technologies and priming them for the market place, and a key tool for the knowledge transfer professional
  • It can facilitate economic benefits including a financial return to inventors and their institutions whilst creating new jobs and services of benefit to the local economy and beyond
  • New ventures may enjoy symbiotic relationships with their parent institutions investing in further University research and securing rights to develop arising IP
  • There is increasing expectation that Universities and research institutes should be skilled at setting up actively managing their relationships with new ventures companies
  • Creating new ventures is a complex, challenging and immersive experience. This course gives a framework for knowing how to embrace this exciting challenge

What will I learn from the course?

  • Define what success in new venture creation looks like from a range of stakeholder perspectives
  • It looks at how to scrutinise and develop opportunities to investment readiness and beyond
  • It explores basic company valuation and the key terminology in new venture creation, including term sheet and their consequences
  • It explores how to develop a pitch to gain investment

Delegates will have the opportunity to hear from academic, technology transfer practitioners with experience in company formation, lawyers and venture capital investors. There will also be ample opportunity for networking with other delegates, the course team and other contributors.

PLEASE NOTE: There may be a requirement for delegates to undertake some pre-course work/reading before the course begins.
