USIT Guide: A live discussion

Earlier this year, TenU — an international collaboration between 10 tech transfer offices in the US and Europe developing best practices — launched the University Spinout Investment Terms (USIT) Guide. Developed together with law firms and VC firms throughout the UK, the USIT Guide aims to accelerate negotiations between universities and investors and solve some of the common sticking points in these discussions.

In June, members of TenU — Orin Herskowitz, Anne Lane, George Baxter, Jim Wilkinson, Karin Immergluck — together with Sofinnova Partners’s Maina Bhaman and TenU chairman Andy Neely came together for a discussion of the USIT Guide’s origins and ambitions in front of a live audience at London’s County Hall.

This is the full recording of this discussion, including audience questions.
