Typically, complementing the academic’s technical expertise with commercial and operational skills means hiring in executives: here, the university or TTO may assist.
However, building the right management team is about more than bringing in known names or distributing equity. Beyond the Product, it is the Team’s ability to execute (deliver upon the promise of an idea) that makes a proposition investable. But it’s hard to be sure the company has the right mix of people and skills, that all are aligned and will be able to work together productively and smoothly.
Tensions and frictions often arise from a lack of understanding of, and ability to work with, differences in know-how, attitudes, and drive, both individual and collective. These drag on momentum and traction; sometimes this is terminal.
This Masterclass introduces a new language of team dynamics, as the way for teams to build and sustain their Execution Power.
KTOs can use it to extend or deepen their support in helping founders to create the right teams by design, to increase the chances of spin-out success. The Masterclass is also suitable for actual and potential founders, as well as those considering executive roles within spin-outs.

I thought that this was an excellent introduction to the topic of Venture Capital for early-stage tech startups (and the interface with TT). The calibre of the lecturers was excellent. They were all approachable, knowledgeable, and happy to engage with the participants.
The topics covered were broad and pitched at the correct level.

This is my first experience of this kind and ASTP was far beyond expectations. I really have no words. I feel much richer in soul and intellect. I wanted and still want to evolve, to learn. Even if I still have to learn, my colleagues and trainers have been exceptional.

Left a little piece of my heart in Latvia this past week at the ASTP course for Creating Successful Spin-outs in Riga. I'm grateful to the wonderful ASTP staff for a fantastic programme.
I value these programmes for the knowledge transferred and especially for the connections made. The training days are long and intense, but as they say in Italian, vale la pena. We emerge with a better understanding and appreciation for the work we do, which in turn helps us to be more active, engaged, and generous within our respective ecosystems.

Many thanks to ASTP for bringing your wonderful training events to Riga! I learnt a lot about early-stage technologies and their transfer via Spin-outs. It was lovely to meet friends and colleagues from previous ASTP events.
We discussed how the knowledge transfer processes are organised at our institutions and about the team effort that goes in to supporting academic inventions together with researchers.

It has been three intense training days and an insightful experience of learning and connecting with knowledge transfer professionals across Europe.
Thank you for providing us with such a high-quality training experience on Spin-outs!
