On the early-stage scene, investors play a critical role in shaping the future of new academic assets, and the sourcing of great science and technology starts early on. How do investors appraise academic opportunities? What factors make an early-stage project attractive, or too risky? Where do investors and academia interests and values meet and how do they nurture the relationship? This discussion will explore investors’ perspectives on academia collaborations, what academics should know when engaging with potential funders and how the investments trends are evolving in that particular aspect.
