The USIT Guide Launch: Event Highlights
Watch the videos from the launch event of the USIT Guide here. The agenda for the launch event included a keynote from George Freeman MP, Minister of State at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and two panel sessions discussing two topical questions: 1. Can the relationship between VCs and universities be an international differentiator? 2. What will it take to deliver the UK's Science Superpower agenda?
The University Spin-out Investment Terms Guide (the USIT Guide) is a set of recommendations for negotiating investment deals created by prominent VC investors and leading universities. Its aim is to facilitate faster negotiations, to identify a landing zone for what a positive deal should look like and to demonstrate that there is a shared commitment across both the TTO and VC communities to work together to build businesses that can change the world.
The project was led by TenU and is funded by Research England.
