Deep Tech Spinouts: Inside Albion Ventures' Decade-Long Partnership with UCL | Dave Grimm
Why do so few university spinouts make it from lab to market? Dave Grimm, Partner at Albion Ventures, has spent a decade answering this question through a groundbreaking partnership with University College London that's transformed how academic innovations become successful companies.
This conversation reveals the blueprint for successful university spinouts: embedding VCs within academic ecosystems, prioritising pace over perfection, and creating standardised processes that work for founders and institutions alike. Dave shares insights from successful spinouts like Phasecraft and Oriole Networks, plus his vision for solving the UK's Deep Tech scale-up challenge through government procurement and ‘unretiring’ successful entrepreneurs.
Essential listening for anyone involved in university technology transfer, Deep Tech investing, or scaling academic innovations into market-changing companies.
