To provide University decision-makers with data to determine the right resources needed at the right time for spin-offs on their innovation path.

The SOI Venture Graph is a cloud-based information platform that collects and analyses thousands of data points on the commercial exploitation of research results through spin-off companies. SOI UG is a business that will be built on a solid foundation. Recognising the existing problem related to access to availability of data in the research commercialisation sector, we set out to solve this problem by creating the SOI Venture graph database. A platform with a mission to close the gap between investors and innovations from both sides where investors can easily search and filter through the entities. On the one hand, SOI provides Investors with the most complete and up-to-date portfolio of spinoffs with in-depth analytics and all necessary information to aid decision-making. On the other hand, it aims to support spinoffs with the most complete and up-to-date database of VC, PROs, MNCs that are known to especially invest in academic spin-off companies. This one-of-a-kind resource provides detailed data and benchmarks from university tech transfer offices and other university-based research entities so you can compare other PROs' efforts against your own practices in creating and spinning off new companies. Get comprehensive data covering the latest trends and practices in spin-offs creation, financing provisions, equity arrangements, and much more. No other resource provides such an in-depth look into key data so you can compare your numbers and see how you stack up against other organisations — and use the data to point you to areas for improvement.

Please note that the website is not stable because its currently under developement.
