Handybook, a US-based spin out from Harvard University’s Innovation Lab to help people book household services, has raised $2m in its seed round from angel investors and venture capital firms General Catalyst Partners and Highland Capital Partners.
The new North America University Innovations Fund will invest in technologies coming out of federal research and university labs.
Global University Venturing (GUV) is where tech transfer, academic and investment experts meet to explore the latest ideas and technologies driving innovation forward. We drive the discussions and share best practices that are critical to the success of spinouts, scaleouts and innovation programmes. Our aim is to help improve the processes of bringing innovations from academia to global markets and facilitate their integration into the broader business ecosystem.
