Welcome to the second episode of ‘Academic Venture Building’, Researcher Live’ new live discussion event series on entrepreneurial topics. In partnership with Blenheim Chalcot, UK’s leading venture builder, we invite high profile experts for each topic and tackle burning questions surrounding the process of launching and scaling an academic venture. On 11th January 2022 at 1pm GMT, we will be focusing on the lifecycle of an academic venture.
Topics to be discussed will include:
- What is the typical lifecycle of academic and student ventures within a university?
- What are the key elements within each stage of this academic venture lifecycle?
- What are the typical university entrepreneurial and commercial support resources one can access?
Our panellists for this event are:
- Nick Gregg, Discussion Chair, Blenheim Chalcot
