Join Propel Earth for a private dinner with funded early-stage founders in NYC focused on IP law, patents, AI, ownership, and investor diligence.
This is not a webinar.
This is an intimate founder dinner for people building real companies who want to better understand how intellectual property affects fundraising, product development, defensibility, and long-term company value.
Most founders do not think about IP until it becomes a problem.
A competitor files first.
An investor flags a gap in diligence.
A contractor owns code the company thought it owned.
An AI tool creates uncertainty around who actually owns the core product.
This dinner is designed to help founders avoid those mistakes early while meeting other high-quality founders in the same stage of building.
Over dinner, well discuss the IP decisions that matter in the first few years of a startup, including patents, trademarks, trade secrets, AI-generated work, contractor ownership, fundraising diligence, and what founders should have documented before the stakes get higher.
Expect a curated room, real conversation, and a chance to build relationships with other early-stage funded founders in NYC.
Dinner is complimentary for approved guests.
