Investors Are Missing A Huge Opportunity To Maximize Returns and Protect Downside Risk
Most investors are putting their entire portfolio at risk by not indentifying and
properly protecting the Trade Secrets they are investing in. Trade secrets, which
include anything in later stage R&D, plus many assets that are “live” across the
enterprise, are multiples more valuable than patents. In fact, alot of innovation
and know-how (including negative know-how) are often ONLY protectable as
trade secrets. They are your competitive advantage: the output of GenAI,
prompt libraries, algorithms, business processes & strategic plans, customer and
vendor lists, and can and should be treated as IP.
If done properly, not only can this innovation be literally turned into an asset
(instead of sunk R&D cost) that increases valuation overnight, but they can be
valued and INSURED against theft - from former employees and from “partners”
who walk away from a deal and come out with a competing product. Nation-state
hackers are the third, more sexy, but far less likely culprit.
Today, if you invest in a company largely because of its unique technology or
innovation and the lead engineers walk with that knowledge and use it at a
competitor…there is NOTHING you can do to get that competitive advantage
back if you don’t have a defensible trade secret. Non-competes help, yes. But
they tont repay you for the tremendous past and future value lost! No other
insurance (including cyber or crime) covers this value either…until now with
InnovationGuard.
