Investor Ready
With extensive experience working alongside both business owners and investors, our team knows exactly how to make you investor ready and ensure your intellectual property (IP) strategy aligns with your funding goals.
A strong IP strategy is critical when approaching investors. It demonstrates your start-up’s potential for market success and directly impacts the return on investment for both you and your investors. Conducting a thorough review of your business and IP can significantly reduce risk, ensuring you have a strong, enforceable IP portfolio that aligns with your business goals.
We’ve supported clients at every stage of the funding process, from early-stage fundraising to post-Series A rounds, including those with large, mature patent portfolios. Our specialist investor support team of patent attorneys and IP solicitors works together to provide a holistic service, streamlining the investor readiness process and presenting your IP in a professional and persuasive way.
