IP, the blind spot of accelerator programs

What you see happen, cohort after cohort.

Accelerated projects arrive with a product under construction and dated documentation that is still limited. The code was written by a co-founder, then by an agency, the brand was dreamed up in a workshop, the first mockups have been circulating for months. Ownership of each asset then needs to be clarified.

These gray areas become costly at the moment the program seeks to create value: due diligence for the first funding round, an industrial partner coming in or a co-founder leaving.

Building the deposit into the first workshop instills the reflex while it's still easy to adopt. Across the whole portfolio, you get a clear view of protected assets and open points.

The program

What you roll out

A shared space, rights per structure, and support that doesn't ask you to become an IP expert.

A space per cohort

Each project has its own space, linked to the cohort. You see each one's protection status without having to ask, and founders keep control of their own deposits.

Pooled deposits

Volume is purchased by the program and shared across projects. Each founder can then timestamp a mockup within the framework the program sets.

Workshops to build the right reflexes

Our experts run one awareness session per cohort: what can be protected, what to deposit and what to document. One hour that saves months of reconstruction.

An IP diagnostic per project

On request, each supported structure gets a status review: assets, ownership, insurance coverage. It's often the first time the question has been seriously asked.

At the end of the program

A better-equipped demo day

A project whose prior existence and ownership are documented gets through due diligence faster, and shows it.

→Exportable evidence file, ready for a data room
→Ownership tied to founders, employees and vendors
→Dated product history, from the first prototype to the version presented
→IP insurance activatable by the structure at fundraising time

An argument for your program

Investors who follow your cohorts notice: the files arrive cleaner. That's a differentiator for your program and its alumni.
