Xu Simon, Chief Technology Officer at Enozo Technologies, Inc. addresses the option of joint development agreements (JDA’s) in startup companies. Joint development agreements are a business-to-business deal structure that allow revenue generation while providing a structured protocol for bringing a technology into the marketplace. The key elements in a successful JDA are: (1) resonance between technology developers and the potential early adopters (2) clear and transparent documentation, and (3) a high value placed on design thinking. This talk will provide an overview of JDA’s, including considerations for negotiating terms, along with case examples.
