Investors want spin-off delay

Article Abstract:

Venture capitalists have warned university entrepreneurs that they should wait for as long as a decade before considering spinning off companies, far longer than is currently common practice. Universities should keep these fledgling companies under "incubation" for up to 10 years, rather than severing ties after only one or two years, if they are to attract the best investment and top-quality managers.
