University Startups and Spin-Offs teaches university students,
researchers, and educators the most effective strategies and
tactics for launching their own startups from academic platforms
with the backing of school programs, public grants, incubators,
seed accelerators, and private partnerships in all parts of the
world. Serial entrepreneur Manuel Stagars advises students,
faculty, and researchers how to test their ideas for marketability,
how to develop commercial products out of research projects, and
how to engage companies and investors with attractive value
propositions. The author has seventeen years of experience as
startup entrepreneur, founder of seven companies in the United
States, Europe, and Japan, consultant to universities on
commercializing their research programs, angel investor, and
startup mentor. Stagars' advice is field-tested, battle-hardened,
and supported with a wealth of instructive first-hand examples from
his international experience. The author advises academic
entrepreneurs to take matters into their own hands instead of
relying on the initiative and support of universities and
governments. He shows students and researchers how to fit lean
startup methods to their existing university ecosystems, leveraging
their strengths without getting bogged down in bureaucratic morass.
Avoiding theory and jargon, the book focuses on real-world
situations, practical steps, checklists, and case studies.
University students and researchers will learn the skills they need
to become startup entrepreneurs on an academic platform. The final
part of University Startups and Spin-Offs addresses university
administrators, educators, technology licensing officers, incubator
managers, and government grant officers. It shows them with
practical examples from the private and academic sectors how to
integrate startups into the fabric of the university, develop a
thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem for students and researchers,
leverage latent network effects, build bridges between scientific
research and industries seeking innovative solutions, enhance the
public image of the university, and motivate the university's best
and brightest to engage in startup enterprises that will deliver
benefits to the university and the public as well as to themselves.
