Innovators and Start-ups
Creativity, ingenuity, imagination. These lie at the heart of what innovators and startups do every day and are the fuel that powers business success and the broader economy.
However, fewer than one per cent of ideas make any money at all and fewer still create a positive return on investment. The reason is simple: success comes down to not what your idea is but how your idea is commercialised.
If you or your team have a great idea but don’t know where to start, then you’re not alone! Every day we work with innovators and start-ups to help them get great returns from their ideas. We walk alongside them at every stage of the innovation journey, from establishing a business case and understanding the idea’s commercial opportunities, through to identifying target markets and negotiating deals on their behalf.
What’s more, NZ Trade & Enterprise has selected EverEdge IP as one of a handful of Accredited Brokers for its Escalator programme. The Escalator program provides small and medium enterprises up to $22,000 in 100% government funding to prepare them to be investment-ready so they can raise capital or undertake strategic deals. Further as an Escalator partner, we can also help small and medium enterprises to connect to the right investors and companies to raise this capital or secure these deals.
If you are raising capital, we can independently and objectively assess and value your intellectual property portfolio. Providing this information to potential investors can reduce investment risk, therefore significantly increasing the value of your company and leading to a quicker deal.
In addition, in certain circumstances EverEdge IP will itself invest in a new technology or start-up. We have a small fund and access to larger pools of investment capital from the United States and East Asia. Click here for more details.
Innovators and start-ups typically require the following intellectual property services:
- Technology / Intellectual Property Assessment: Assessing the potential commercial value and/or intellectual property position of a single innovation or a multi-asset portfolio.
-
Commercialisation Strategy: Developing strategies to maximise returns from a technology or innovation.
-
Negotiation Support: Guidance and support to negotiate license, royalty, technology transfer and development agreements.
-
Investment: Valuing intellectual property assets and portfolios, intellectual property and technology due diligence and structuring for investment.
