This paper focuses on the relationship between "Pasteur-type" researchers and their startup companies. Through the case study analysis, author found that "Pasteur-type" researchers acquired the sense of value in consideration of use through their career. In addition to the fact that the venture was a familiar and realistic option for researchers, they created an environment in which they didn't need to be deeply involved in management of startups. Furthermore, it was observed as a common characteristic among all the researchers that they had an emphasis on basic research and clearly drew a line in the division of roles with startups. These results suggest that establishing a university-startup may be a suitable option to keep the basic research environment and to promote innovation based on the scientific achievement.
