Is your IP portfolio ready to impress investors or is it holding you back?
For early-stage businesses, intellectual property is often the most valuable asset on the table. Yet many founders underestimate how closely investors scrutinize IP during due diligence. Delivered by experienced Patent Attorney Melvyn Ansell, this session will explore how to turn your IP into a powerful lever for funding, valuation, and long-term growth.
From unclear ownership and weak protections to misaligned strategies and disorganized documentation, Melvyn will unpack the red flags that raise eyebrows and how to fix them. He will walk through 10 actionable strategies to build a clean, aligned, and defensible IP portfolio that inspires investor confidence.
Whether you are preparing for your first funding round or planning your next, this session will help you transform IP due diligence from a legal hurdle into a strategic advantage.
