Together with Mikkel Marfelt, Daniel Hoang provided insights into the recent restructuring proposal for the University of Copenhagen’s (UCPH) Venture Fund to fund spinouts from its innovation ecosystem. Inspired by global best practices like Oxford Science Enterprises, The Engine, and UVC, this transformation seeks to overcome barriers such as limited funding, governance constraints, and rigid IP policies, enabling scalable and efficient spinout support. They explored strategies to combat challenges in tech transfer, limited deal flow, and the complexities of the spinout process, despite the abundance of talent and research at UCPH.
Daniel holds an MSc in Engineering from DTU, specializing in Technology Entrepreneurship. In addition to his studies, he was instrumental in building DTU's venture studio, Earthbound, from the ground up. His master’s thesis explored university-based venture funds and the critical role universities play in translating research into companies, a topic he is now pursuing through a PhD.
