IpFunders - We Fund IP Protection

IpFunders funds IP protection for technology companies. We cover the upfront cost of patent protection and align investment with progress.

What We Do

For most technology companies, IP protection begins with patents—front-loaded in cost, long in uncertainty, and difficult to justify before commercial value is clear. IpFunders exists to shift that timing risk by funding protection early and aligning commitment with progress.

Key Benefits

No Large Upfront Commitment - We fund patent prosecution from the start
Costs Scale With Success - Investment grows only as IP proves valuable
Risk Stays With Us - We absorb prosecution uncertainty
You Stay In Control - Flexibility preserved throughout

Who We Serve

Startups - Conserve capital while protecting IP
Corporates - Portfolio-level optionality without budget constraints
Inventors - Reduce personal financial risk
Investors - Partner with us on IP asset development

Not a Law Firm. Not a Lender. Not Seeking Equity.

IpFunders is infrastructure for building IP portfolios in a way that makes sense for early-stage companies and venture-backed teams.
