Solutions
For accelerators
Give every supported project an IP reflex from day one, and give your program a full overview.
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.
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.
Use cases
The most common situations
The same deposit meets different needs depending on what you protect and the risk you face. Here are three common cases for this profile. See all seven.
