Which of your IP assets is your core? In earlier college business administration courses, professors often touted the advantages of “vertical integration,” the process of bringing all production from raw materials through the finished product under one roof. The core we abandoned in this new generation.

The thing is … what I see many sales execs do is burn up countless hours on mid-level campaigns that get torpedoed when the go up the organization due to lack of budget, a desire to own that core IP or other more pressing organization priorities. Not always, of course. Call high, and get passed down or; B.

It probably sounds obvious, but plenty of startup founders have been surprised to learn that “their” IP was owned by the software developer who just jumped ship, an academic institution one of the cofounders graduated from, or the company one of the founders worked at before she came onboard. Protect your IP : Patents are the gold standard.

Signaling — An NDA puts other parties on notice that your IP is valuable, not lightly shared, and that you intend to defend it and your business. That said, NDAs should never take the place of solid IP protection. They are an extra layer of security, not substitutes. What’s been your experience with NDAs?

Shame about not getting it in legal writing that you owned the original IP. Oh, they didn’t cover that in your Stanford CS course? For company registration, angel deals, Series A & B funding, Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOP), IP filings and even litigation it doesn’t need to be that way.

You want to send just enough to get the meeting (and of course a great deck sells better than a long email) and not so long that you don’t leave a chance to wow the person in your actual meeting. Compelling. Visually stunning (in this day and age this is becoming a sine qua non ). But what about the privacy / confidentiality concern?

IP Risk – The closer the Serial Team’s new adVenture is to their prior successes, the greater the risk that they may be accused of infringing on their former company’s intellectual property (IP). Thus, care should be taken when crafting the band’s reunion tour to ensure they do not inadvertently run afoul of third-party IP rights.

I moved over, halfway in my tenure, to be GM in on the IP support line of the business, which included GoToMyPC and GoToAssist. I've been living in Santa Barbara since 1996, and over the course of my career I've gone back and forth to the Bay Area several times. That was a $250M line of business when I left.

He and his partner told me about this new idea over the course of nearly a year. If this idea was so big then why would they risk not being first to market, not building defensible IP for the sake of a few hundred thousand dollars extra in lock-up money at a big company? I finally called bullshit. You have kids, a mortgage, MBA debt?

Valuation is one of those ubiquitous words: at least when it comes to discussions around startups — and, of course, stock market multiples. But it can be confusing because there is not just one type. In fact, there are several types of valuations and they come into play at different times in a company’s lifecycle. Strategic partnerships.
