The IP operating system for deals
Trusted by venture-backed teams and deal counsel
Deals don't die from bad tech. They die from bad paperwork.
IP problems are discovered too late in the deal process, when fixing them is expensive, time-consuming, or impossible.
Common IP Problems
Ownership Gaps
Missing employee assignments, contractor IP issues, unclear chain-of-title
License Traps
Change-of-control triggers, field-of-use limits, non-assignable licenses
OSS/Data/AI Landmines
Unknown copyleft exposure, missing data rights, AI model ownership gaps
Business Consequences
Deal Repricing
IP issues discovered late lead to valuation haircuts
Closing Delays
Last-minute scrambles to fix ownership and compliance gaps
Walk-Aways
Acquirers abandon deals due to unfixable IP problems
