Each Playbook is a system-level execution guide — not a blog post. They’re AI-curated, role-specific, and tactically written to help you launch real deep tech ventures from university IP, signals, and blueprints.

Students, researchers, non-technical founders, CXOs-in-training — anyone ready to build. Every Playbook is mapped to actual venture creation roles and can be used by solo builders or full campus teams.

Playbooks unlock the “how” behind each Blueprint’s venture model. When you click on a Blueprint, you’re not just seeing IP — you’re seeing a venture shell. Playbooks fill in the team, steps, and decision logic to make it executable.

Yes — and that’s the point. SpinOut U is a venture engine, not a theory platform. These Playbooks are designed to turn signals and patents into spinouts — with clear legal, funding, and technical integration pathways.

Start with the role you’re most aligned with — founder, operator, or researcher. Then layer on Playbooks based on your venture stage: e.g., Legal & Incorporation + Go-To-Market + Mentorship if you’re formation-ready.

Yes — they are trained on startup studio frameworks, accelerator programs, NSF I-Corps patterns, and student founder feedback. Many are co-developed with academic and national lab collaborators.

Yes — especially if you’re bundling new IP or building with campus teams. We encourage custom forks. You can even Submit a Playbook to be featured in the system.

They are AI-orchestrated but human-grounded. Each one combines prompt-trained startup logic with validation from our internal team and partner institutions.

Faculty can assign Playbooks as course-aligned venture projects. They fit perfectly into engineering design, entrepreneurship, capstone, or research commercialization courses. Ask us about Campus Studios.

Yes — corporates can request custom Playbooks aligned to their signals. Many are already using these to frame co-development projects, scout academic spinouts, or launch internal ventures.

These are modular, plug-and-play, and scaffolded to IP — not time-based cohorts. Unlike accelerators, you don’t need to apply, wait, or give up equity. You just start building with what’s already available.

New Playbooks are added monthly based on venture signals, user demand, and Blueprint releases. We prioritize playbooks based on usage patterns and spinout frequency.

Public Playbooks are free. Advanced Playbooks linked to high-value IP bundles may require license-to-build access. We believe in democratized venture tooling, with structured access for premium pathways.

Yes — universities, labs, accelerators, and studios can build private Playbook libraries. Contact us to create a custom deployment layer within SpinOut U.
