Founding in Deep-Tech by Fifty Years

​How do I spin out my science into a deep tech startup? Am I addressing a problem with a large enough market? How do I recruit a team? Am I the right person to do it?

​​Join us to learn the inner mechanics of the spinout process with Alex Teng, Partner at Fifty Years, who's helped 100s of scientists translate research into deep tech startups, including companies like Plasmidsaurus (ultrafast sequencing to scientists globally) and Clippership (autonomous sailboats to decarbonize maritime shipping).

We'll cover:

• ​​identifying civilization-scale problems worth building

• ​​deciding whether your research should become a startup

• ​​breaking ideas into fundable milestones

• ​​navigating tech transfer, IP, and licensing

• ​​recruiting early teams

• ​​growing into the founder your company needs
