Read Norm Silver‘s success story on how ElevateIP has helped bring their startup to the next level:

One of the biggest challenges we face is intellectual property (IP) protection. As a software company, our IP is our most valuable asset. It is what sets us apart from our competitors and what gives us a competitive edge. However, with competing priorities and limited resources, IP is not always a top priority for us. We know we should invest more in IP, but we often struggle to find the time, money, and expertise to do so. 

That is why we are so grateful for the ElevateIP Program. This program provides funding and guidance for startups to develop and implement an IP strategy. The program covers up to $100,000 of eligible costs, such as hiring an IP professional, conducting an IP audit, filing patent applications, and more. 

Thanks to the ElevateIP Program, we were able to hire an IP consultant who helped us identify our IP assets, assess our IP risks, and prioritize our IP actions. We also received funding to file patent applications for some of our key inventions, which will help us secure our market position and attract investors. The ElevateIP Program has been a game-changer for us. It has helped us realize the importance of IP for our long-term viability and growth, and it has given us the tools and resources to protect our IP effectively. 

We highly recommend the ElevateIP Program to any startup that wants to take their IP to the next level. The program is easy to apply for, flexible to suit your needs, and generous in its support. The ElevateIP Program is a great opportunity for startups to leverage their IP and achieve their business goals.
