A large gap exists between the output of corporate research labs — intellectual property and smart scientists — and the needs of the mainstream venture capital community - commercial products and seasoned management teams. The gap is not filled by corporate venture capital groups who have the skill set to invest in later stage external companies. New Ventures Partners takes an inside-out approach collaborating with large institutional partners to leverage their existing internal technology portfolio at little or no incremental cost to the corporation.

New Ventures Partners bridges the gap by:

• Helping the institution identify logical candidates for spinout
• defining and developing a compelling business plan
• building an entrepreneurial management team
• structuring, funding and launching the new entity
• managing the transfer or licensing of intellectual property, key physical assets and human resources
• forming a syndicate with other venture capitalists to finance the company's growth

By codifying the process, New Ventures Partners is able to mitigate many of the risks and transaction costs typically associated with corporate spinouts. As co-founders of our ventures, we remain deeply involved well beyond the initial launch and funding. We generally expect to take board seats and make a long-term commitment to:

• providing strategic and operational guidance
• advising on the most appropriate funding options
• assisting in business development
• supporting our ventures in subsequent rounds of investment and exits
