IP, the blind spot of accelerator programs
What you see happen, cohort after cohort.
Accelerated projects arrive with a product under construction and almost no dated trace of their work. 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. No one has documented who owns what.
These gray areas cost nothing as long as they stay theoretical. They become expensive at the exact moment the program tries to create value: due diligence for the first funding round, an industrial partner coming in, a co-founder leaving.
Building the deposit into the first workshop instills the reflex while it's still easy to adopt — and gives you, across the whole portfolio, a clear read of what's protected and what isn't.
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. A founder doesn't have to choose between certifying a mockup and paying for hosting.
Workshops instead of documentation
Our experts run one awareness session per cohort: what's protectable, what to deposit, 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 you, not just for your alumni.
