INTRODUCTION

The ability of early-stage biotechs, in particular spin-offs from universities, to obtain Series A/first round financing depends upon the venture capitalists (VCs) that make this type of investment being able to secure successful exits. In addition, any ultimate return to the university from a spin-off depends upon the value of the company rising at each VC round. ‘Down rounds’, where the share price falls, lead to often catastrophic dilution of the shareholding of a university, which is rarely in a position to invest cash to maintain its position. The result is that even if the company is ultimately successful, and the investors secure a profitable exit, the university may not necessarily share in that financial success.
