10 Commandments for Building a B2B Marketplace

As early-stage investors, we know first-hand that some of the most promising startup ideas are developed and nurtured in universities across Europe. A few of our many spin-out investments include Porotech (University of Cambridge), planqc (Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich), and Qphox (Delft University of Technology).
