A Launchpad for IP-Driven Startups
PNPL, which stands for Patent Now, Pay Later, isn't just a service. It's a revolutionary model designed for founder success. We've created the world's first platform that funds your entire patent process on a convertible note, requiring only 20% upfront. This allows you to secure your most valuable asset without draining your runway.
We assess your IP, team, and market fit to generate your unique iSTARTUP Score. This unified benchmark does more than just qualify you for PNPL funding it provides powerful proof to early-stage and pre-seed investors that your IP is a fundable, commercially viable asset.
Every PNPL Evaluation is Built on Three Core Reports
1. Patent Eligibility Report (PER)
Validates the originality and patentability of your innovation.
2. iSTARTUP Score
Measures your team, business structure, and execution readiness.
3. Commercial Readiness Report (CRR)
Assesses your product-market fit and launch potential.
Each report contributes to your iSTARTUP Score — an average score that defines your pathway to PNPL (Patent Now, Pay Later) onboarding and investment.
