A Patent-Pending Party
We’re bringing together founders, investors, and operators for an experience designed to give you both the truth and the tools you need to build something that lasts. Here’s what we have planned:
• Founder Panel: Real, unfiltered conversations about the entrepreneurial journey: the highs, the lows, the mistakes, and what founders would do differently knowing what they know now.
• Ask the Examiner AMA: An open Q&A where you can ask anything about patents, IP strategy, and how the system actually works from someone who spent 15 years inside the U.S. Patent Office making those decisions.
• Investor Panel: A rare opportunity to hear directly from investors about what they’re actually looking for, what gets their attention, what raises red flags, and what makes them say yes.
• Live Patent Hackathon: A pre-selected founder will walk in unprotected…and leave officially patent-pending with a filed patent application.
We’ll also have intentional time for networking with some of the most thoughtful people across the ecosystem. Because here’s the truth: Ideas are everywhere. Protected ideas are more valuable. And one conversation can change everything.
