Healthy numbers for the university innovation ecosystem during the third quarter could mean 2019 will again break all records.
Global University Venturing tracked 226 deals in spinouts during the third quarter of 2019 – a adding to 167 in the first quarter and 234 in the second, and bringing the total for the year so far to 627. It is only slightly below the 636 deals clocked over the same period last year, which finished with 822, and it does not seem unreasonable to bet on a new record being set.
