Reflection - Learning Launch 

 My name is Gary and I work for one of the biggest Universities in Brazil , SA Power Utility . Now , I ’m in charge of entrepreneurship area of the TTO of Scotiabank ,   called Innovation Initiative . One of my challenges is to increase the number of   spin off generated at the University . The context is complex , even more so if it is a public   university . In Brazil , Public Universitie ’s professors can not open companies and work on   technologies developed by them at the University . However , students can open businesses and   license technologies developed at the University . However , these students usually have no   business background . Besides this , there is little incentive to start - up technology based in Brazil   beyond all the complexity of maintaining a company in the country , generating fear in this   public . We have a considerable number of companies formed in our incubator , but my   hypothesis is that we can do much more , reducing risks and working in an integrated way with   partners .      Our team has limited resources ( time and budget ) . The proposed project has the purpose of   increasing the number of university spin - offs from technological clusters of interest to   companies . For example , we would call and select ideas in the health area , and the incubation   process would be carried out in conjunction with a healthcare company . Our team would enter   the incubator 's expertise and the company would come up with resources to enable MVP   spin - off . It is a win - win , we generate more companies in the University and the company   leverages its process and open innovation . 

 Selection 

 Our team hardly worked with Design Thinking . We have made all the first steps indicated and   have come to the conclusion that we are ready to run a learning launch in an area that has   almost no cost to understand if we can apply in areas that need investments . We chose one   area : Finance . 

 Application 

 We chose this area for some reasons : there is a boom of fintechs in Brazil . Basically the   financial sector is becoming more and more of IT . We have a very strong School of Computation   and with great connection with the market . Another factor is that we have a company in the   University 's Science Park that is interested in startups focused on IT . We discussed and thought   that it would be interesting to present a joint project for the executives who ended up agreeing to   participate in the mentoring of 3 companies . On the research side , we talked to some teachers   who indicated students who are interested in the area . We also filter teams from a business   model competition that we do every year to check interest . 

 Insights / Learnings 

 We learn that students are willing to undertake . There really is a barrier to open a company , that   through a talk we can show that there are simple and cheap ways to maintain a startup . We   have verified in any way that we need an associate accountant for a volunteer job ( we are   working on it ) . We also learned that it is necessary to carry out a more entrepreneurial   evangelism of PHD students . They have great ability to generate new businesses . In some   areas this is ok due to college courses . However , it is small by the number of students .     The company that participated has loved the project and wants to expand to other business   units . We are talking to other companies about models that require investment ( eg health ) . 

 Approach 

 I believe that the learning launch was excellent for putting into practice some ideas and learning   from the internal public ( students and teachers ) and companies . Maybe the relationship seems   simple , but it 's very complicated and full of details . Let 's adopt the DT in other projects that we   have with the internal public .
