We look back at some of the highlights of season 3, which featured many a discussion about university incubator and accelerator programmes, including insights from Jim Shaikh (The Greenhouse at Imperial College London), Paul Devlin (Cardiff University), Brandon Paschal (LaunchLab at Stellenbosch University), and Duncan Johnson and Miles Kirby (NG Studios powered by Deeptech Labs).

We also tried to answer the question of what makes an ideal spinout founder with GUV’s own Fernando Moncada, as well as an episode guest-hosted by Imperial College London’s Simon Hepworth that specifically looked at immigrants as founders. John Dearie (American Center for Entrepreneurship), Alice Li (Cornell University’s Center for Technology Licensing), Desmond Cheung (an investor with Foresight Group) and Dorian Haci (founder and CEO of Imperial spinout MintNeuro) all contributed to that panel discussion.

And this season featured discussions around university venture funds with Anita Nel (Stellenbosch University and its University Technology Fund) and investing in the construction sector with Ilian Iliev (NetScientific).
