Frequently Asked Questions

A spinout can be appropriate where there is a strong commercial opportunity that is best developed through a new company. The decision on whether to create a spinout, licence the technology or pursue another route should normally be considered through the IP Commercialisation process first. 

Support can include business-model development, market research, business planning, team building, customer and partner connections, access to funding, investor readiness, networks and support for scaling. 

Yes. Through a transparent and efficient process, we help develop the business model and create an investor-ready business plan to engage with investors, connect ventures with relevant networks and identify appropriate sources of funding.

No. Building the right team is itself one of the areas Trinity Innovation supports, so engagement can begin while the company and leadership requirements are still being shaped.

Trinity Innovation can provide a route into relevant early-stage opportunities and explain how investors or entrepreneurs can engage with emerging companies and the spinout formation process. If you'd like to get in touch, we can discuss the right opportunities.
