IPRSCORE™ FOR COMPANIES

IPRSCORE™ FOR COMPANIES

Score your IP. Signal your value.

Benchmark your IP across five asset classes, build a stronger competitive moat, and signal your value to lenders and investors — from early stage through to exit.
If you are anticipating growth, contemplating an M&A, considering a fundraise, JV or partnership in the next 12 months, your IPRSCORE™ is the most important benchmark you don't yet have.

Your IP Has a Score. Do You Know Yours?

Most companies have built significant IP value they can't clearly articulate, measure, or prove to the people who need to act on it.

Fundraising for IP-rich companies takes up to 12 months. With the right IP signal, it can take 12 weeks.

The IPRSCORE™ is that signal.

It evaluates how well your IP contributes to your competitive moat across five asset classes - Brand, Patents, Software, Critical Databases, and Trade Secrets - and gives you a clear, compelling benchmark and narrative ready to go into CIMs, investor decks, and fundraising materials.

The IPRSCORE™ is relevant at every stage of your company's growth, not just when you're fundraising

M&A

Being acquired or considering an acquisition? A potential buyer will want to know the state, quality, and extent of your IP portfolio,  and how quickly it can be packaged to unlock cash flows post-acquisition. Companies with a strong, well-documented IP foundation move through that process faster and at better valuations.

Exit Planning

Preparing for a sale? The IPRSCORE™ provides a clear, defensible basis for valuation conversations,  giving a potential acquirer a data-driven view of how defensible your IP is and how it would be assessed in an M&A scenario. A strong, improving IPRSCORE™ is a direct signal of a widening competitive moat and increasing business valuation.

Post-Fundraise / Scale-Up

Just closed a round? Companies use the IPRSCORE™ post-fundraise to demonstrate value creation to investors ahead of subsequent fundraises, M&A, or exit. An improving IPRSCORE™ is a signal of a strengthening competitive moat - exactly what your next investor wants to see.

Early Stage / Pre-Revenue

Pre-revenue and building? The IPRSCORE™ levels the playing field regardless of stage, and getting IPRSCORED early identifies IP gaps while there is still time to address them, before those gaps become liabilities in fundraising or diligence conversations.

Joint Ventures & Partnerships

Entering a JV, licensing deal, or strategic partnership? Your IPRSCORE™ gives you a clear, credible benchmark of what you're bringing to the table, and the IP Insights Deck gives you the language to articulate it compellingly.

Fundraising

Planning a raise in the next 6–12 months? Pre-revenue companies with strong IP assets can and do score well,  and a strong IPRSCORE™ gets you in front of lenders and investors much earlier and with more credibility than traditional financial metrics alone.
