Discover Why Founders Around the World Trust My Startup Shield™ Before Stepping on Stage
What We Do
From Ideation to Pitch, and Beyond... We’ve Got You Covered
At My Startup Shield™, we help founders protect their ideas before they share them — and continue guiding them as their business grows.
Built by a former United States Patent Examiner and IP Strategist with 25+ years of experience, My Startup Shield™ makes intellectual property protection simple, fast, and founder-friendly.
We help founders identify what’s truly protectable in their innovation, secure a government-issued filing date to de-risk public disclosure, secure first-to-file status, and gain investor-ready proof of protection through our Protect Your Pitch™ process. Our support doesn’t end once you’ve filed and are patent-pending. We work with you to strengthen and evolve your IP strategy as your startup scales, helping you protect what matters most at every stage of your journey. Your idea deserves protection — not just at the start, but for everything it becomes.
Protect your innovation. Pitch with confidence. Grow with security.
Idea Risk Assessment
Before you share your idea, know where you stand. Our rapid IP risk assessment identifies what parts of your startup are protectable — and where you may be exposed. Founders walk away with clarity, direction, and next steps toward formal protection.
Search & Strategy Review
We combine AI-powered search tools with examiner-level review to uncover prior art and assess your invention’s uniqueness. This step reveals your competitive landscape and helps shape a smarter IP strategy before you invest in filing.
Protect Your Pitch™ Workshop
Get guided, hands-on support to secure your government-issued filing date — your official timestamp of protection. During this live session, you’ll file your provisional patent with a former USPTO examiner by your side, ensuring accuracy and peace of mind.
Portfolio & Growth Protection
Protection doesn’t end once you’ve filed. We continue working with founders to build strong follow-up filings, competitive claim coverage, and long-term IP strategies that grow with your company. As your business scales, your protection scales with it.
Why Partner with My Startup Shield™
The Eye for Innovation
With over 25 years of experience in intellectual property and a 15-year tenure as a former United States Patent Examiner, I see innovation through a very different lens than most. At the United States Patent and Trademark Office, I was the one deciding which ideas were granted patents — and which were not. That experience gives me an examiner’s precision and a founder’s heart, allowing me to protect innovators with the same insight once used to evaluate them. I know what matters, what’s noise, and how to help you protect what truly makes your business unique. My mission is simple: to be the extra set of eyes that helps you see the path forward — clearly, strategically, and confidently.
Every Hour Counts
In the world of innovation, time isn’t just money — it’s rights. I understand the urgency that founders face, because 24 hours can change everything. A single day can mean the difference between owning your global rights and losing them forever. My Startup Shield™ was built to act fast — to secure a government-issued filing date, get you patent-pending, and preserve both your U.S. and international opportunities before the sands of time run out. When it comes to protecting what you’ve built, every moment matters — and I make sure not one is wasted.
Built to Grow With You
I’m not a “file it and forget it” kind of partner. I stay invested — in you, in your vision, and in your long-term success. Intellectual property protection is not a one-time act; it’s an evolving process that grows as your company does. I help founders manage, strengthen, and expand their IP portfolios so they can stay competitive and ahead of the curve. Through every challenge and milestone, My Startup Shield™ is the gear that keeps your innovation in motion — protecting, evolving, and propelling you forward.
