Authorship Protection for Startups & Research Teams
Your pitch deck, business model, and proprietary research are your competitive advantage. Protect them.
The Problem
Pain points that startups & researchers face every day.
Investor pitches expose your strategy
You share your business model, market analysis, and proprietary insights with potential investors. If they pass and fund a competitor instead, you have no proof they saw your strategy first.
Accelerator and incubator IP risks
Accelerator programs bring together startups working in similar spaces. Your ideas, strategies, and approaches are discussed openly — creating IP exposure without documentation.
Due diligence requires documented IP
Investors and acquirers need to verify IP ownership during due diligence. Without a documented trail of original creation, your valuation is at risk.
How ScriptShield Helps

1. Register pitch materials before every meeting
Upload your pitch deck, business plan, and financial model before investor meetings. Your strategic IP is timestamped before it leaves your control.

4. Protect proprietary research and methodologies
Register your unique research, algorithms, datasets, and methodologies. Your competitive advantage is documented with verifiable timestamps.
Real Scenario
The pitch deck that became a competitor's strategy
A startup founder pitches to a venture capital firm. The VC passes. Three months later, a portfolio company of that VC pivots into the exact market with a strikingly similar go-to-market strategy. The founder suspects the pitch was shared internally — but proving the VC saw the strategy requires evidence. With ScriptShield, the pitch deck was registered before the meeting, the VC partner accessed it via a tracked link with NDA acceptance, and the access event is fully documented.
