Validate your concept, be sure you have enough runway

We can give you an opinion, and rework your concept if needed. We can help minimize your risk so you are not tackling technical issues near the end of your runway.

We can also act in an advisory role. Design decisions have cascading effects - we can guide you through the implications of making certain design choices, and give you better options. These things mater when you are trying to scale.

Startups usually need a patent to get funding. But are you sure the patent will be granted? Or give you freedom to operate?

Sometimes it's best to rework the concept in a way that will get a safe patent. Our members have years of experience developing patents, and know how to protect your design (or work around someone else's).

We understand budgets are limited and futures are uncertain. We are willing to accommodate you.
