From Research to Startup
Every successful spinout begins long before a company is incorporated.
The Startup Journey is a practical roadmap designed to help researchers understand the stages involved in commercialising research and building an investable business.

Learn how to assess market need, commercial potential and routes to impact before investing significant time and resources.
Step 2
Protect Your Innovation
Understand intellectual property, licensing and when a spinout may be the right approach.
Step 3
Validate the Opportunity
Speak with potential customers, test assumptions and identify the problems your research is best positioned to solve.
Step 4
Secure Funding
Explore grant opportunities, non-dilutive funding and investor readiness.
Step 5
Build Your Startup
From founding teams and governance to branding, websites and customer acquisition.
Step 6
Grow Beyond the Lab
Develop partnerships, attract investment and prepare for international growth.
Throughout each stage you’ll find practical resources, expert guidance and real-world examples to help you move forward with confidence.
