Founding a company

In some cases founding a VU & VUmc spin-off company is the best route for commercializing know-how and/or intellectual property rights. After the decision has been made to set up a BV, and potential partners/investors are ready to participate, all rules, rights and obligations between the stakeholders should be written down in several legal documents and contracts as described below.

As a general rule, TTO will offer legal assistance in cases where VU & VUmc participates through its holding-companies Ooievaar Holding BV or Boelevaar Holding BV, for more than 50% in a spin-off company.
