Structuring Software Spin-offs: Issues and Alternatives

Ilya Antipov

Abstract

INGRIA Technopark

Software outsourcing companies develop software for clients, who then capitalize on products and solutions further. Manufacturing “waste” of this process, ideas and intellectual property, could be turned into own products. Spin-offs cases illustrate the potential of higher earnings than the original business. Business scalability of software product company is higher than outsourcing company. However, there are novel issues and risks contributing to success of spinning-off. New company will have to deal with external client does not provide requirements nor budget, business model and sales have to be engineered, competitive positioning and pricing have to be established.

RIS Ventures
