Armada IP Capital Philosophy
Armada exists to fill the expertise and capital gap that many innovators have to overcome when they are inventing, building, and defending their technology and products. We have created Armada as a platform to provide expert advice and management of IP assets, and to provide capital when needed.
We believe that success in creating valuable technology, products, and IP requires deep expertise in technology, finance, as well as intellectual property. We started Armada to bring together all of the elements of success.
- We are technologists with a long track record of creating commercially valuable technology and products.
- We are financial professionals with specific experience in the finance of innovation.
- We are patent practitioners and inventors ourselves with hundreds of inventions to our names that have been successfully commercialized.
