DOI: 10.1007/s11365-017-0489-9
Abstract: The establishment of spin-offs to commercialise university knowledge/technology is a potential mechanism to promote economic and innovative development. Nevertheless, University Spin-Offs (USOs) are usually resource-constrained, especially in obtaining funding, limiting their growth. Venture Capital (VC)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11846-016-0217-9
Abstract: Although performance measurement has been a prominent topic especially in an entrepreneurial context, researchers struggle to obtain conclusive results. We link this to the fact that the key role of different performance measurements has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.respol.2016.09.002
Abstract: Due to their origin in universities, academic spin-offs operate at the forefront of technological development. Therefore, academic spin-offs exhibit a skill-biased labour demand, i.e. academic spin-offs have a high demand for employees with cutting-edge knowledge… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.respol.2020.104035
Abstract: Abstract Despite the emergent importance of liquidity events (IPOs and trade sales) as performance indicators for VC-backed academic spin-offs, empirical research on the drivers of liquidity events relating to such spin-offs has been limited. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tem.2020.2995361
Abstract: Academic spin-off facilitators support high-tech academic spin-offs and help them to navigate various barriers and critical junctures during their growth stages. In this article we draw on stage-gate models, the path-dependency, and resource based view… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s1363919618500524
Abstract: We investigate the effectiveness of public financing programmes for university spin-offs (USOs) in their seed stage. These ventures often identify groundbreaking innovations which are not commercialised due to financing problems. USOs show characteristics which expose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1504/ijeim.2017.10005355
Abstract: Commercialising knowledge and technologies from public research centres, research-based spin-offs (RBSOs) play a pivotal role for technology transfer and thus contribute to regional development, economic wealth and job creation. Growth, however, is a highly debated… read more here.
