Spin Out @ MyAV范

Spinning out can be a way to bring academic innovation to have a real-world impact. There are several schemes to spin out, and this will depend if you are聽1) MyAV范 staff, honorary or student, and you have聽2) protectable IP or not.

You are MyAV范 staff and have protectable IP: a spin out might be a viable option (but not the only one).聽MyAV范B will help you create a company, manage and pay for IP protection, recruit the team and advisors, train you for pitching with investors and take a seat on the board in the early phases. For these services, MyAV范B will have an equity stake in all the companies they help create, and continue to support and nurture MyAV范 spinouts over the long term.
You are MyAV范 staff but have non patentable IP:聽Usually, if your IP isn鈥檛 patentable (e.g. software, know-how or algorithmic methods), a spinout might still offer the best route to market/impact. MyAV范B鈥檚聽聽is designed to help MyAV范 researchers develop spinout companies based on IP developed at MyAV范.
You are MyAV范 staff and have a non-profit business idea:聽If your research has the potential to make a difference in聽people鈥檚 lives, tackle environmental issues or meet community needs, MyAV范B can help you to聽.
You are a MyAV范 student and have protectable IP:聽the situation for students and PhD students is different from MyAV范 staff (post-doc, professors..) because they own their IP. Please contact MyAV范B to discuss your situation or you might want to see whether MyAV范 Innovation and Enterprise has a聽solution that fits you.聽Enterprise | MyAV范 Queen Square Institute of Neurology - MyAV范鈥� University College London
