El presente artículo analiza el “emprendedor académico” como factor determinante en el proceso de creación de Spin off académicas en el  Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR), siendo la primera investigación en este campo e incluyendo variables como: personalidad, habilidades, trayectoria profesional y disposición a implicarse en actividades empresariales. Se utiliza la metodología del estudio de caso y de los factores determinantes desarrollada por  OShea, Chugh, & Allen (2008). Se realizó un estudio empírico, entrevistando a profundidad 10  emprendedores académicos identificados,  quienes  fundaron su empresa derivada del quehacer académico.
