This report presents detailed empirical evidence to policymakers, university leaders and other stakeholders on:

• Key patterns and trends around spinout production and how this compares to similar universities in the United States.

• Equity and other deal terms being negotiated between universities and their spinout teams at the point of foundation, and how levels of university founding equity are changing over time.

• Spinout success in raising private investment to drive their development and growth, and the ability of the UK to retain spinouts as they scale and mature.

• The relationship between the level of equity a university takes in their spinouts at the point of their foundation and the success of these companies in raising private investment.
