The programme, designed by the University's Enterprise team in conjunction with training providers who are external experts in intellectual property, early-stage commercialisation, innovation, spin-out formation and development, follows on from other accelerator programmes such as ICURe. The second edition of the Future Founders Programme will be delivered over five half-day in-person sessions of practical hands-on learning through short blocks of teaching, case studies and practical exercises. The programme content will cover the following:
- Corporate governance and roles and responsibilities of the Director's Board
- Personal leadership and combining academic and entrepreneurial mindsets
- Positioning and effective storytelling for spin-outs
- Effective management of intellectual property, and
- Understanding the investors' community.
Building on the success of the first edition of the Future Founders Programme in 2022, funding has been secured by the Enterprise Team to run the programme on an annual basis. To get in touch with the Enterprise Team, please email uol-enterprise@liverpool.ac.uk.
The program very neatly wraps up the fundamentals of starting a company and becoming a successful founder.
