Celebrating #EarthWeek at the White House! RA Capital Management’s General Counsel Sarah Reed and I were thrilled to be involved in the development of the US-BOLT (University Startup Basic-Out-Licensing) term sheet for climate-related startups spinning out of universities. The goal of the work is to make it easier for universities and start-up companies to collaborate on the commercialization of game-changing technologies. Together with the work group led by Orin Herskowitz, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy celebrated the completion of this effort with fellow professionals, policymakers, and innovators, all dedicated to driving positive change for our planet. We are excited to have the US-BOLT Climate term sheet now available to the community on the NVCA website here: https://lnkd.in/e5hsXfQw Joshua Posamentier (Congruent); Manny Stockman and Kirsten Leute (OUP); Gabriel Kra and Carly Anderson (Prelude); Christina Karapataki (Breakthrough Energy Ventures); Orin Herskowitz and Dovina Qu (Columbia); Case Cortese and Rosemary Kiser (Caltech); Deirdre Zammit (MIT); Jordan Grant and Sam Liss (Harvard); Fiona Wills (University of Washington); Jonathan Gortat, MBA, CLP (Stanford); Anthony Williams (Princeton); Laleh Shayesteh (Berkeley); Geoffrey Spolyar (Cooley); Sarah A. Solomon (Goodwin): Miranda Biven, Barath Chari, Manja Sachet, Farah Gerdes (Wilson Sonsini)
