In this replay, Bennett David (Ohmium), Cory McAnelly (Principal), Sam Garcia (Amplo Ventures), and Tim Young (Eniac Ventures) joined Tradespace's Alec Sorensen to examine what investors are actually looking for when they evaluate a patent portfolio today, and the specific steps IP leaders should take in the 6 to 12 months before a fundraise to make sure IP is a valuation driver rather than a liability.
In this replay, we explore:
-
How IP diligence shifted from a box-checking exercise to a strategic conversation
The panel discussed how more sophisticated investors, AI-powered competitor analysis, and increased competition for capital changed what gets asked in the diligence room, why a large portfolio with no underlying narrative has become a flag rather than a flex, and what kinds of questions IP leaders are now expected to answer.
-
How to build an IP narrative that supports your valuation
Panelists walked through what investors actually want a portfolio to accomplish, how AI-native patent services are changing the economics of filing, and how IP leaders can build and position a portfolio that tells a coherent story beyond filing count.
-
The 6 to 12 month pre-fundraise playbook
The conversation covered what IP leaders should be doing consistently to stay ready, which administrative elements genuinely need to be tight before diligence, what resources to prepare for investors, and how to handle the ad hoc questions that come up over the course of a live raise.
