Starting a technology company

---

In the following pages, you will find a step-by-step guide to starting up a technology company from within the University of Cambridge. However, its value goes further, as much of this guide will also be applicable to those starting up companies from other universities in the UK.
The guide is the initiative of Cambridge Enterprise, of the University of Cambridge. It is based on the experiences of Cambridge Enterprise staff who support many individual students, faculty and several teams through the process of forming a company around a piece of technology. Key points in the text are developed and highlighted by accompanying case studies and commentaries from experts.
I am very pleased that during my three-year tenure as Executive Director, the Cambridge-MIT Institute (CMI) had the opportunity to get involved with this highly worthwhile project. The University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in response to an invitation from the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, established CMI in 2000. Since then, it has been developing projects and programmes in support of its mission: to impact the UK economy in terms of competitiveness, productivity and entrepreneurship.
CMI has been trying to energise the entire innovation ecosystem, including developing and delivering education programmes that encourage even greater innovation by our alumni; integrating knowledge around research into emerging technologies; and more deeply engaging universities with industry in the process of knowledge exchange. This guide goes to the heart of this agenda.
I hope very much that budding entrepreneurs find this guide useful, and that they will report back to the authors on their experiences.
