Abstract: As part of a research about Hungarian academic start-ups, I made a survey examining part of the answers of a long questionnaire created for the whole research filled in by academic spin-offs of most important Hungarian universities. The study is structured as follows. First I present the most important operational information on university spin-off companies taking part in the research. Then I give an insight to the details of financing spin-offs, thoroughly analyzing institutional and informal venture capital and the role of funding opportunities â€" tenders. I examine which financing resources dominate in academic spin-off companies in various phases of life-cycle (seed, startup, other early or expansion stage).I am interested in whether venture capital playes itâ€(tm)s classic role (financing fast growing high-technology small firms) or not and what the reasons according to the spin-off companies ) are. I examine how tenders influence the growth of Hungarian spin-offs, and what the most important of the companies about tenders, including barriers or positive indicators.I present the experiences of spin-offs in the fiel of the three mentioned financial resources, and try to answer what kind of changes to subserve venture capital financing Hungarian spin offs would be needed.
