“Key legal aspects of a technology-based start-up” - Xartec Salut Formation
2022-10-20 11:00 - 12:30
Xartec Salut Formation – “Key legal aspects of a technology-based start-up”

We will review the generally acceptable practice in the distribution of the share capital, as well as the governing bodies of the start-up. The main documents that must be in place in any start-up and the main clauses that need to be present in such documents.
We will also discuss the main terms and conditions that we will usually find in an investments agreement and the main aspects to manage and limit the responsibility of the founders. We will also visit the modalities of investments and the main instruments available for such investments. We will review a numeric example to calculate the percentage of the share capital that a pre-money valuation may represent.
We will also review the main types of investment plans for key employees, directors and collaborators as well as their main features.
We will analyze the main items involved in the transfer of technology from the institutions to the start-up and the international standards in such technology transfer. We will also review the structure of the license agreements, and the main terms and conditions of such agreements. We will discuss the main stages in the exploitation of the technology and the legal documents available in each of such stages.
In preparation for an eventual sale of an start-up, we will review a number of liquidation preference clauses that the investors usually require to be present in their investment and shareholders agreements.
We will also review the main aspects of the protection of personal data which is regulated by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 Open in new window, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulations) and the provisions of the Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on Personal Data Protection and digital rights guarantee. We will analyze the main notions of data controller and registry of processing activities, the purpose and data categories, the legitimation or legal basis of the personal data processing, preservation of data, the transmission of data, international transfer of data, the legal rights of the interested parties, and the role of the data protection officer (DPO)​​.

"The adventure of creating a startup from the CSIC" – Xartec Salut Formation
2022-11-03 11:00 - 12:30
ABOUT THE SESSION
In January 2003 we got the approval of the Council of Ministers to create the first “sociedad limitada” in which the CSIC was a partner. The company was called Biopolis and focused on offering R&D services for the Spanish agri-food industry (technically a CRO).
After two years we were already generating profits and after four years we reinvested all the profits generated in founding Lifesequencing SL, the first Spanish massive genome company. In this adventure we were accompanied by Secugen SL, another CSIC spin-off. In the following years we expanded our capabilities in genomics, microbial physiology, animal models and scale-up and industrial production while increasing our customers in the European Union and LATAM until 2016, when we reached a staff of 45 professionals with a turnover of almost 4 million euros. It was then when we decided to offer a part of the shareholding for the entry of a new partner to help us grow in North America and APAC.
Then Archer Daniels Midland Co (ADM) arrived and acquired 90% of the shares. Since then we have been part of this large multinational agri-food company. They bought most of ADM’s shares because we were a company that developed ingredients using high-quality science as the driving force and that is what we continue to do.
Throughout this conference I will explain this journey and how my personal and professional life has changed over these twenty years.
