“Get professional, structured IP support every month — keep your IP aligned with R&D, investors, and business goals, without breaking the bank.”

The Challenge — Why Your IP Story Matters Now

Raising capital in food-tech and alternative protein is unlike any other sector. You are racing against time: burn rates are high, R&D milestones are complex, and investors are cautious. They don’t just invest in science; they invest in defensible value — assets that protect your innovation, create a competitive moat, and justify a return on investment.

For many startups, the science is impressive, but the IP story is incomplete, unclear, or missing entirely. Founders often assume that if the tech works, investors will see the value — but in reality, a weak IP narrative can silently kill a deal.

  • Investors hesitate or push back on term sheets
  • Decisions are delayed, often by weeks or months
  • Founders burn precious runway while waiting for approvals
  • Teams risk losing negotiating power or accepting lower valuations

Every week of runway that passes without a clear defensibility story costs your money, credibility, and strategic advantage.

The Cost of Non-Action — What Happens If You Wait

It’s tempting to think, “We’ll file patents later” or “We’ll clarify defensibility once the round closes.” But in high-speed sectors like precision fermentation, cellular agriculture, or novel plant-based ingredients, every delay compounds risk:

  1. Investor uncertainty slows decisions
    Investors rarely say “no” outright. They say, “Let’s revisit later,” or “We need more clarity.” That delay can extend your round by weeks, costing you both runway and leverage.
  2. Competitive exposure grows
    Without a clear IP plan, competitors can replicate or improve upon your processes faster than you can protect them.
  3. Valuation erosion
    Ambiguity around defensibility reduces negotiating power. Investors may offer less favourable terms simply because the IP story is not compelling.
  4. Internal distraction and lost focus
    Founders and R&D teams get pulled into firefighting IP questions instead of executing on product milestones, slowing progress further.

In short, inaction is expensive. A weak or unclear IP story doesn’t just slow fundraising — it risks the survival and growth of your company.

The Solution — Investor IP Readiness Program

The Investor IP Readiness Program is a premium, high-impact service designed specifically for startups raising Seed/Series A in food-tech and alternative protein sectors. It turns your scientific innovation into a clear, defensible, investor-ready narrative — fast.

This is not a generic patent advisory service. It’s a hands-on, executive-level engagement that integrates your IP strategy with your fundraising goals.

What You Get:

  • A Complete Strategic IP Blueprint

    • Close gaps that could derail funding
  • Direct Investor Meeting Participation
    I join one or two key investor meetings, explaining:

The Outcome — Clear, Fundable, Defensible Value

By the end of the program, you’ll have:

  • Confidence walking into investor meetings, knowing that IP-related questions are answered before they are even asked
  • A higher likelihood of faster fundraising with better terms and stronger valuation

Investors no longer see uncertainty — they see a clear, defensible roadmap that transforms R&D into competitive advantage and profit potential.

This is the exact support that founders in high-burn, high-tech food sectors need to turn investors into believers, not skeptics.

Who This Program Is For

  •  Seed/Series A food-tech and alternative protein startups
  • Companies working in precision fermentation, cellular agriculture, novel proteins, plant-based ingredients, or enabling technologies
  • Founders preparing for a fundraising round under tight runway
  • Teams who want to accelerate investor decisions and reduce IP risk

If you are running out of runway, preparing a deck, or heading into critical investor meetings, this program is designed to ensure you convert capital into defensible, investable innovation quickly.
