Our Partners

Defining the new frontier of intellectual property.

What breaks, what works, and what to do next.

00:00 to 00:10

Where Traditional Patenting Breaks

Over scoping, wrong timing, and process debt, why teams at Google, Meta, and Amazon moved away from legal first IP workflows.

00:10 to 00:28

The Modern IP Playbook

Lightweight capture, clear filing gates, and roadmap aligned defensibility, built for teams shipping on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket every week.

00:28 to 00:40

Governance That Engineers Trust

The controls IP needs before it touches real product decisions, modeled on how Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle run innovation governance.

00:40 to 01:00

Live Q&A + Next Steps

Leave with clarity on scope, timing, and a first filing plan, the same clarity Founders Fund, Index Ventures, and Accel look for in technical diligence.
