Evidence review for deep-tech funds

Invention,assessed.

VentureIP shows deep-tech investors where a credible lab result still lacks the protection, repeatability, or production proof a fund needs before capital moves.

Cipher makes the evidence gap visible, so fund teams can decide what deserves conviction and what still needs proof.

The proof gap

A working prototype is not yet an investable company.

  1. 01

    Lab result

    Early proof works

  2. 02

    Pilot

    Can it repeat?

  3. 03

    Production

    Yield, cost, approval

Three-question method

Protection, scale, and proof, each answered once.

Question 01

Is the invention protectable?

We review the founder's filing, nearby patents, competing claims, and design-around risk to determine whether the position can create durable leverage.

Question 02

Can it scale?

We compare what the prototype proves with what a real product would require: repeatable manufacturing, cost, supply chain, deployment, and approvals.

Question 03

What still needs proof?

We identify the missing technical, production, regulatory, and commercial evidence that should change the next investment decision.

Process and outputs

From disclosure to a decision-ready dossier.

A domain analyst reviews every machine-generated finding before it enters the full report, technology and IP brief, or Cipher scorecard.

  1. Step 01

    Intake

    Invention disclosure, technical brief, and commercial context captured under NDA.

    Then

  2. Step 02

    Evidence review

    We check patents, technical literature, market context, regulation, and financial assumptions.

    Then

  3. Step 03

    Analyst review

    A domain analyst reviews every machine-generated finding before it enters the report.

    Then

  4. Step 04

    Three-format delivery

    Full report, technology and IP brief, and Cipher scorecard. Five business days for 5 to 8 ventures.
