our process

Investing in Innovation

SELECTING

We see value in technology companies that others cannot see and have the necessary expertise to unlock that value. We transform intellectual property (IP) assets into high-value, revenue-generating assets that fuel sustainable business growth beyond what companies can achieve alone. We turn a venture investment into a cash-flowing property investment.

SHARED VISION

FUNDING

We fund an IP growth plan developed in partnership with each company to unlock greater value from IP assets, including expanding operations to meet customer demand and scaling broader use of the IP assets in new markets, industries, and applications. We focus on driving diversified and accelerated growth for companies and creating higher quality, better paying jobs for people. We believe that the more value we create for others, the more value we create for growing more companies.

GROWING

We put in place an integrated team of IP and industry professionals to work with management teams to develop and execute an IP growth plan that adds a second growth story beyond its core business. We expand the company’s operations and existing IP asset portfolio, and we scale broader adoption of its IP assets through licensing, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships while ensuring robust protection.

IP MANAGEMENT

Our Difference

investment model

ip capital
venture capital
Investment
Strategy

investing in scaling the manufacturing capacity and operations of companies with new physical products based on breakthrough IP, with the investment strategy to have a lasting impact in the world for people through broad adoption and bring advanced manufacturing to America.

High barriers to competitors developing competing solutions (breakthrough IP involves deep science and engineering based breakthroughs and enabling IP assets for making new physical products that require many years to develop and commercialize, and large capital investments).

Investing in the broader business plan needs of companies with new digital products in high growth markets based on software IP, with the investment strategy to drive higher equity valuations over a series of financing rounds in the hope of achieving target returns in an exit for investors.

Low barriers to competitors developing competing solutions (software IP mostly involves incremental improvements that enable existing businesses and new business models to operate over the internet, i.e., online, through software apps and services on smartphones and computers)

Asset Backed

Yes.
Investment secured by the company's breakthrough IP and IP assets (new product designs, know-how, and proprietary manufacturing equipment) and (ii) contracts with customers, suppliers, and partners that enable its business to operate.

No losses expected.

No.
Investment unsecured with venture capital relying on the promise of a company's business plan projections to support higher equity valuations and paper returns at each financing round that are unlikely to be realized in a future company exit.

High losses.

Dividend
Paying

Yes.
We receive a % of company revenues that enables us to pay dividends ("revenue share" or "IP royalty").

No.
% of company equity ownership and no dividends ("equity ownership").

Scaling
Services

Yes.
We provide IP management, technology, and operations support, along with a shared technology platform for integrating smart manufacturing.

No.
Monitor investments with the promise of sharing access to a network of human resources for growth, the value of which is difficult to predict or determine.

Exit
Upside

Yes.
We receive an IP royalty buyout % in a future company exit (IPO, sale) that buys out our revenue share or a fund exit that sells the revenue share.

Unlikely.
Equity ownership % in a future company exit (IPO, sale) only, with the exit and its value at high risk due to competitors with competing software solutions.

Total
Returns

Greater than a 2x net multiple, 20% IRR. Minimum return for each fund investment because of the differences of the IP Capital investment model.

There is unlimited potential upside in each investment beyond the minimum because the capital and services of the IP Capital model are focused on scaling broad adoption of breakthrough IP.

Less than a 2x net multiple, 20% IRR.Total return for all fund investments because of the high risk and high losses of the venture capital model.

To make up for the high losses of the venture capital model, the total return targeted in each investment is a 5-10x multiple, 100% IRR, which requires taxing each company with high equity ownership.
