Startups: protect your intellectual property
Secure what gives you your value before you show it. A few seconds per file, 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 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, then timestamped and recorded in an unalterable public registry, whose network sets the date independently of Ipocamp. 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 (who holds the rights) is documented, and due diligence by an investor or acquirer rests on firmer ground.
What it changes
Four advantages for a young company
Dating your work makes a real difference, 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 make informed decisions about 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 timestamped can deter attempts at appropriation before they happen.
Ownership, settled at the source
Founders, employees, freelancers: tying each contribution to its author the moment it's produced clarifies ownership during due diligence for a funding round or a sale.
Common use cases
What startups timestamp
Three moments in building your product when a deposit is called for.
Pitch decks & business plans
The company's most widely shared document. Timestamping it before the first send fixes the content and the date.
Open →Source code & algorithms
The certificate captures the state of a commit or an archive, at a verifiable date. Timestamp your releases automatically.
Open →NDAs and contracts
The signed agreement and its appendices, fixed byte by byte: which text, on what date and with which documents.
Open →Timestamp what you're building, starting today.
