Most IP consultations start with a sales pitch. Ours starts with listening.
In 30 minutes, Gary Shuster — named inventor on 256+ patents across a dozen technology fields, Harvard Law graduate, and one of the most prolific and diverse inventive minds working today — will listen to you describe your invention, your market, and your goals.
He’ll ask questions you haven’t considered. He’ll identify value you may not have seen. And he’ll give you a directional read on what your IP is worth, what’s missing, and what to do next.
Cameron Powell — founder, attorney, and advisor across 16 startups, with founders coached who raised $1B+ — joins when the conversation turns to valuation, exit strategy, investor readiness, or how to translate invention into an investable story.
What You Get in 30 Minutes
- Directional IP assessment — Gary listens, identifies the core protectable value, and tells you where you stand.
- Improvement suggestions — Gary often co-invents during the conversation itself.
- Risk flags — obvious vulnerabilities, design-around paths, and invalidation risks.
- Strategic options — whether your next move is filing, broadening, licensing, or waiting.
- Honest assessment — if you don’t have something valuable yet, we’ll say so.
