Ideaship
919 SW Taylor St., Ste 900, Portland, OR, 97025, United States
Overview
Ideaship helps Founder Inventors maximize the value of their innovations by catalyzing a patent strategy that helps stake out the future of their industry and fortify the company's valuation. We invest in early-stage US startups with both novel inventions and promising investment prospects. Our initial investment comes in the form of deep patent strategy and filing work, with the potential for follow-on financial investments. Ideaship's value as a strategic investor derives from the fact that companies with well curated IP strategies and patents command higher valuations in successive funding rounds and exits.

Participated · Seed · Jul 2021
Native Voice operates an on-demand voice services library that lets users access branded voice experiences such as ‘Hey Spotify’ and ‘Hey Uber,’ with tap-to-talk functionality and always-listening wake-up capabilities. The platform enables users to access brand voice services without switching accounts as brands launch their own voice assistants. Native Voice is working with brands across fitness, retail, smart home technology and other verticals to build a large collection of voice services. The company is led by founder and CEO John Goscha and recently added senior hires including a CRO, CMO, VP of engineering, and head of product. It raised $14M in seed funding and intends to use the proceeds to continue expanding operations and business reach. The company is based in Denver, CO.
