We help technology companies and investors make stronger decisions around innovation, protection, trust and risk
16+ years · 1 000+ patents · 350+ research projects · $500M+ asset value context
The question is not whether your technology works. It is whether the decisions around it — direction, protection, ownership, trust — are strong enough to build on
Most technology decisions rely on incomplete information. We fill the gaps before time or capital is wasted
Competitor patents, protected solutions and restricted zones mapped so you see where the landscape is closed
Directions where prior art, licensing or market constraints may block growth
Defensible positions and development paths where innovation can be protected and scaled
Sometimes the right pivot beats defending the wrong path. We provide the evidence to decide
Competitive and IP landscape mapped around your core technology. Which directions are open, restricted, or constrained
Direction assessment, risk map, strategic recommendations
Ownership of code, data, algorithms, contractor work and know-how reviewed and formalized. Gaps identified before investors or competitors find them
Ownership audit, contract review, protection strategy
Data governance, privacy compliance and operational maturity evidence — built before enterprise clients or regulators require it
Gap assessment, readiness roadmap, compliance documentation
Competitors, market constraints and innovation patterns mapped. Direction decisions based on evidence, not assumptions
Landscape report, risk and opportunity map, direction brief
Investor round, enterprise contract, partnership or M&A — technology and IP layer prepared so you enter from strength
Readiness assessment, gap closure plan, preparation brief
5-day focused screen of target's technology, IP and ownership position. Risk signals, red flags and a go / pause / adjust recommendation
Risk summary, red flags, key founder questions
12–15 day assessment of technology defensibility, IP strength, competitive landscape and scaling risk. Investment language, fund-decision format
IC-ready memo: asset strength, risks, price and terms implications
Post-investment technology direction, IP structuring, ownership gaps and enterprise readiness for portfolio companies
Ongoing advisory, periodic reviews, targeted workstreams
Independent technology risk review for high-value transactions. Defensibility, competitive dynamics and whether price reflects real asset strength
Independent assessment, risk-adjusted perspective, negotiation points
Series A company needed to know whether its core algorithm was defensible before approaching growth investors
Direction shifted to a novel, unprotected data processing method. Protection filed. Investor materials restructured around the stronger asset
Defensible technology story for investor conversations. Reduced exposure in weaker areas
Cybersecurity company preparing for enterprise sales found key features built by contractors with no IP assignment
Ownership restructured, contracts corrected, enterprise trust framework established
Passed first enterprise security review. Closed two large contracts within six months
Fund evaluating a Series B fintech at premium valuation. Company claimed proprietary transaction processing
Core logic based on open-source with restrictive licenses. Two key innovations unprotected and easily replicable
Offer adjusted to reflect actual defensibility. IP protection milestones negotiated as deal conditions
Independent technology, innovation and IP advisory practice. We work where technology direction, asset protection, competitive intelligence and investment risk intersect
Across 350+ research projects and 1 000+ patents filed globally, we see where technology positions are strong, vulnerable, and where real value sits. Domains: AI, cybersecurity, cloud, telecom, fintech, biometrics, autonomous systems, SaaS. Network of specialized experts in IP, legal, privacy and compliance
No. Patents are one tool. The real value is broader: technology direction, asset protection, ownership clarity, competitive positioning and trust frameworks
If you have a working product and decisions to make about direction or protection — no. The earlier you build the right structure, the cheaper it is to fix
We do not raise capital or make introductions. We prepare the technology and IP layer so that when investors ask hard questions, you have defensible answers
Yes. Enterprise buyers require data governance, privacy compliance and maturity evidence. We build it before the opportunity requires it
We focus on strategic positioning and risk, not on freezing the product. Output stays relevant as the product evolves
No. We strengthen the technology and IP layer, which makes investor conversations more productive
We use AI where it adds value. But strategic judgment across hundreds of real projects and translating findings into business language requires human expertise. AI is a tool, not a substitute
Brief product description, technology stack overview and any specific questions. No formal package required
Regular due diligence answers "what exists now." We answer "how strong is this asset, what risks are hidden, and what does it mean for your deal." Decision layer, not code audit
No. We assess defensibility, identify hidden risks and underestimated potential, and translate that into investment consequences
Assessing real technology risk and translating it into fund language requires experience across hundreds of transactions. AI accelerates research; it does not replace judgment
Before IC, when the fund still has leverage on price, terms and structure. Post-term-sheet is possible but reduces strategic value
Clearer view of the asset. Specific questions for the founder. Risk-adjusted perspective that may affect valuation, terms or go/no-go
Yes. We support portfolio companies with technology direction, IP structuring and enterprise readiness
Strict NDA from day one. No deal information shared with any third party
Quick Risk Screen: ~5 days. IC-Ready Memo: 12–15 days. We deliver a written assessment and walk through findings on a call. Pricing is project-based
Evaluating a direction, preparing for investors, or assessing a deal — start with a focused conversation
Send a brief product description or deal deck before the call. No commitment required
