Private Equity & Venture Capital
IP Diligence, Formation Support, and Portfolio Strategy for Investors
MIM helps venture capital and private equity clients evaluate IP-backed opportunities, support company formation and portfolio-company growth, and improve the strategic utility of mature or acquired IP portfolios over time.
What We Help Investors Do
Investment Diligence
Pre-investment and pre-formation review of IP assets, ownership, prosecution posture, licensing constraints, competitive context, and downside risk, with the objective of supporting a real go / no-go or IC decision.
Formation and Early Company-Building Support
Support as opportunities move from diligence into early company formation, onboarding, portfolio architecture, licensing posture, and foundational IP strategy.
Portfolio Improvement and Strategic Stewardship
For selected mature, acquired, or distressed assets, support around portfolio refinement, claim coverage strengthening, continuation-based sharpening, and alignment of the estate to licensing, enforcement, or transaction objectives.
Why This Matters
Investors do not need generic patent commentary. They need business-relevant judgment about whether IP supports valuation, defensibility, strategic leverage, future financings, or exit readiness — and, in some cases, what can be done to improve the asset after the deal.
How We Structure Engagements
Investor engagements may be deal-specific, project-based, formation-stage, recurring across a pipeline, or tied to a broader portfolio support role. The right model depends on the cadence and stakes of the decisions being made.
