IP Tracking and Management Platform for Creators & Small Businesses
A SaaS platform, akin to Hootsuite for IP, that enables independent creators and small businesses to track, manage, and leverage their intellectual property (digital and non-digital). It helps them monitor usage, understand perceived value, and potentially monetize their brand assets.

Why now

The Power of Becoming a Feedback Magnet with Kat Cole | Where It Happens9:26
are there platforms or like infrastructure for small companies to track and manage their ip... track hits on that ip the like perceived value of it because the ip by the way in traditional financial services context has value like you can go get a loan against ip and actually have cash that comes in from it so i wonder whether you could build a platform... helps companies especially content related companies track and manage and like kind of leverage the value of their ip more readily
