Sound Familiar?

• Your lawyer is talking claim language and you just need to know if it's worth filing.
• An investor asked about your IP position and you weren't sure what counts as a real answer.
• You're shipping a product and have no idea whether you're stepping on someone else's patent.
• You keep hearing "you should patent that" but nobody explains what that actually means.
• You're building in software or AI and have no idea what's even patentable anymore.

Patents are one of the most misunderstood tools in a founder's toolkit. Lawyers talk in claims. Advisors talk in slogans. Nobody talks in business decisions. Until now.

‍

This is For You If You Are a:

• Founder, CEO, or CTO at a deep tech company.
• Filing your first patent and want to avoid the most common (and expensive) mistakes.
• Preparing to talk to investors and need an IP story that holds up under real questions.
• Building software or AI features and unsure what's actually patentable.
• Worried about infringing someone else's patent but don't know where to start looking.
