A company spinout, also known as a corporate spin-off, is a type of corporate action where a parent organization splits off a section or technology division to form an independent business. This process allows the newly created entity to operate autonomously, secure separate funding, and commercialize specific technologies or assets while the parent company remains active.

  1. Becki DeGrawNegativeSep 3, 2026· This Week in Startups

    Large parent ownership stakes probably reduce spinout founders' motivation.

    “If the old company— I'll call it parent or existing company— has an 80% stake or 50% stake in the company, and the founders have smaller stakes, they're probably less motivated.”

    Starting a new venture before separation may breach fiduciary duties and confidentiality provisions.
