Hourly billing makes deferral the rational choice... until the bill comes due at the raise: a thin portfolio, a weaker round, blocking patents nobody saw.

“I raised a Series A myself at the end of a Phase 2, so I know exactly what an investor wants the IP story to look like.”
Will Rosellini
Will led the first US FDA approval of an AI medical device and has spent 15 years turning IP into leverage: portfolios, licenses, and rounds. The proof here is the mechanism and that track record.
The mechanism
How it works
Episodic consulting creates blind spots, and deferral compounds the risk. A subscription replaces the open-ended meter with continuous coverage.
Automated analysis
Freedom-to-operate, prior art, landscape, and competitor filings, run continuously instead of once a quarter.
A Chief IP Officer's judgment
Analysis becomes strategy: portfolio framing and the investor narrative your round needs.
Continuous monitoring
A monthly cadence catches the landscape shifts and competitor filings episodic consulting misses.
The engagement
The shape of the engagement
One continuous relationship, three depths of coverage. Annual prepay takes 10% off.
Scout
01Continuous freedom-to-operate and landscape monitoring, with monthly IP strategy read-outs.
Arsenal
03Everything in Shield, plus outcome-aligned participation when you monetize the portfolio.
Straight talk
Honest answers
Why not a patent firm?
Patent firms bill $500 to $800 an hour, with no ceiling. This is continuous coverage on a flat subscription: you know the number before the work starts.
What does it cost?
Scout is $2,500/mo, Shield is $5,000/mo, Arsenal is $10,000/mo. Annual prepay takes 10% off. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices.
Why not wait until we raise?
That is exactly when the bill comes due. The portfolio you wish you had takes months to build.
Is this legal representation?
No. Will is your fractional Chief IP Officer: strategy and judgment, not legal representation.
The one ask
See where a competitor is boxing you in before your next raise.
Tell us your top competitor. We will research their recent filings and send you a teardown within five business days. No calendar, no commitment.
A competitor's filing wall, and the white space they've left you. Illustrative.
Request your competitor teardown
For venture-backed founders. Not a fit for law firms or patent-prosecution-only needs. Note: patent applications publish on an ~18-month lag, so a teardown reflects what is public to date.
