Is IP-backed lending just a way for you to try to take my patents?

This is a fair question, as some IP-backed lenders are more of a “distressed debt”-type lender, who focus on enforcement.

We prefer operating companies where the mindset is to grow the company (and maybe exit to acquisition/IPO).

We do not have a “loan to own” mentality.

We want you to succeed.

When you grow your company and generate more sales, the IP (our collateral) has more value.

We succeed when you succeed.
