In conclusion, while some of the Unicorns analyzed in the study have embarked on the journey of creating a solid IP portfolio, as many as 61% of US Unicorns seem to have fallen behind. It is in the best interest of management and investors of these companies to examine their IP position and analyze their exposure, particularly if they are planning to enter new markets, are facing impending litigation or are approaching an exit event.

They did an excellent job with our token valuation report. They were able to pick up new/complicated concepts very quickly, were super responsive and sensitive to our tight timelines, and overall produced a high-quality valuation report. We'd recommend their services to anyone working in the crypto/protocol/utility tokens area.

In short I talked to three somewhat similar services and you guys are by far the closest to my liking and also much more in tune with both the funding needs of a start-up and the realistic projections required to not only build a strong and achievable business model but also present a story that makes sense to external professional investors.
