To close the CSTO2NE podcast series, Episode 6 looks at what happens when innovation becomes a venture: how university spin-offs choose funding, shape business models, and scale—especially in capital-intensive sectors like construction and cleantech.
In this episode, Tomás Navarro Echeverría (Scaphari Ventures) shares common business-model weaknesses seen before fundraising and how founders can fix them early. We discuss when bootstrapping makes more sense than venture capital—and when VC is necessary or even harmful—plus how different funding routes shape strategic freedom.
Tomás also explains what “good timing” means in practice for circular construction innovations, the signals that indicate a spin-off is truly ready to scale, and what universities and industry partners can do differently to improve survival rates.
Conceptualization, review, and editing: Antonia Pacios and Anabel Castillo.
