For IP and VC counsel
A reciprocal channel between deep-tech IP and the funds that back it.
VentureIP partners with IP-specialist and VC-specialist law firms on a two-way referral model. You send deep-tech patent work and fund opportunities. You get access to the VentureIP fund network and the technical review workflow.
The exchange
Reciprocal, not transactional.
This is not a services pitch. It is a referral partnership between firms that specialize in deep-tech IP or VC counsel and VentureIP's technical review practice.
You send
Work and opportunities
Deep-tech IP matters, fund relationships, and portfolio situations where technical review should sit beside counsel.
VentureIP routes
Fit, scope, delivery
We determine whether the opportunity belongs in fund review, client technical review, or reciprocal network routing.
You receive
Network and workflow
Warm fund access, preferred technical review workflow, and clearer referral accountability in both directions.
You send
Deep-tech patent work
Clients that need patent landscape, patent conflict, or technical readiness review. Your firm keeps the counsel relationship.
You send
Fund-side opportunities
Flag funds and portfolio companies where VentureIP's technical review fits. The introduction goes through your firm.
You receive
Deep-tech fund network access
Warm access to the deep-tech VC funds that use VentureIP. Introductions routed through your firm for matters that fit.
You receive
Technical review workflow
Preferred-channel access to VentureIP's patent and technical assessment for your deep-tech client work.
Who this fits
Narrow by design.
IP-specialist firms
Patent, licensing, patent conflict review, prosecution, litigation, and portfolio strategy. Firms whose practice is the IP itself.
VC-specialist firms
Fund formation, LP work, deal structuring. Firms embedded in the VC operating model with deep-tech fund relationships.
Who this does not fit
- Generalist legal practices without an IP or VC specialization
- Full-service firms pitching services unrelated to deep-tech IP or VC counsel
- Firms seeking a white-label review product to resell under their brand
How it works
Lightweight on your side. Structured on ours.
Step 01
Introductions
Warm intros in both directions, routed through the firm's partner of record.
Step 02
Scope
VentureIP scopes the technical review. Your firm stays in the counsel seat.
Step 03
Delivery
Assessment delivered to the fund or client. Firm receives a copy by default.
Step 04
Review
Quarterly reciprocity review. Referrals, fit, and close-rate in both directions.
