Doesn’t own any IP unless start-ups are collaborating with a professor and both the entities feel that they have contributed equally to the project.
An incubation agreement has to be signed in as a legal process.
If the startup is bound to generate revenue after 3 or 5 years -> Pure equity model
If startups start generating revenue after a year ->mixed model of equity & revenue

Consultancy projects have no established cost
Collaborative project will have 50-50 IP
-> If the work is very small like testing, it will result in only overhead charges, no IP
Incubation centre, not fixed: early stage start-ups may be nurtured without any equity
-> Established start-ups: 10-20% stake
