The pressure is on for universities to get more innovations developed into start-ups that will ultimately create jobs, revenue and benefit the local economy. But far too many university start-ups never reach their potential – often because they don’t have the foundational structure, leadership, and early funding needed to achieve sustainable growth.
The outstanding distance learning collection University Start-Ups: Building Foundations for Investability and Sustainable Growth will assist your staff, faculty, and student entrepreneurs in understanding how to overcome these major foundational challenges and become not only “investable,” but get on a path to real traction and ultimately a successful scale-up and/or exit.
Pitching strategy, corporate structure, capitalization and equity, internal conflicts, and the founding team are all factors that can make or break a fledgling venture – and we cover it all in the seven hours of expert guidance you’ll receive in this collection.
The individual programs included in the collection are:
