Seeing the potential in your intellectual property (IP)

Our team of experts delivers funding and guidance to strong, well-managed commercialized companies with:
- Stable and growing commercial revenues
- Ownership or license of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, proprietary software, data and copyright
- A plan for global ambition
