Shame about not getting it in legal writing that you owned the original IP. For a very small fee they can get your Delaware C corp registration, make sure that you have IP protection and ensure you didn’t make an early bumbling mistakes that you’ll pay for dearly in the next 7-10 years of hard work.

I talked to one company who had build really differentiated IP and had great customer traction. Do we have the wrong PR firm? Don’t just mentally write off their features or marketing as “dumb” – ask internally what you could learn from it. Let’s think about whether that is hurting us or not.

It’s why as an investor I look for talented teams with long-term vision, a unique point-of-view, differentiated IP and a desire to build something enduring. Avoid the latest fads, trends or PR announcements. Double-down on great people, process & IP. Many “me, too&# companies will perish.

It has the dual technology patrons and yet the consistent story I get is that they’re not actively out embracing the startup community, helping local successes emerge, getting comfortable with the symbiotic benefits of some employees going to startups that innovate at a different pace and then buying up local teams, talent & IP.

If it’s a biz deal you might care about IP protection, revenue share, investment commitments to joint marketing – whatever. But I sometime see people get bogged down in PR releases, cancelation clauses, minimum guarantees, whatever. Try your best to stand your ground on as many points as you care about.
