For startups

Secure what gives you your value before you show it. In a few clicks, at your own pace.

Move faster than the system

Why date while you build.

An idea that finds its market spreads fast. The traditional intellectual property system follows an industrial pace: months of examination, high costs and a complexity that weigh on growing companies.

Ipocamp lets you timestamp the code, the mockups, the plan and the key exchanges the moment they are produced. The fingerprint is computed at deposit, timestamped by an independent time authority and published in an unalterable registry. The file is transferred, encrypted, to our storage so you can retrieve this deposit if you open an account.

The patent, if you ever file one, will come later. Until then, your prior existence is established, your ownership is documented, and your due diligence rests on firmer ground.

Accessible

Everything happens in a browser: drag and drop your file and receive a certificate. Repeated at each stage, this step builds a proof file.

Affordable

Your first 5 deposits are free, then a subscription starts at €16 incl. VAT per month. The certificate stays verifiable for life.

Solid

A SHA-256 fingerprint, a 32-byte summary computed from the file, a secure timestamp and an unalterable registry make up proof that is admissible in civil matters under Article 1358 of the French Civil Code.

What it changes

Four advantages for a young company

What dating your work actually changes, while you build, and on the day someone challenges it.

Defend your date

An established group has more resources and more lawyers than you. A documented date gives you a precise foothold to defend your prior existence.

Move forward with confidence

Each dated iteration lets you show earlier, test more widely and decide calmly what you share.

Share within a documented framework

A product is built with feedback from investors, pilot customers and vendors. Signaling that the work is on record can deter copying before it happens.

Ownership, settled at the source

Founders, employees, freelancers: tying each contribution to its author the moment it's produced clarifies ownership during due diligence.

Common use cases

What startups timestamp

Three moments when a deposit is called for, at every stage of building.

Pitch decks & business plans

The company's most widely shared document. Timestamping it before the first send fixes the content and the date.
