Competitive Positioning
- Missing here is the competitive landscape which would be nice to see. Investors are naturally going to ask:
- Who are the competitors? Lexus Nexus’ patent products?
- How does IPRally stack up against incumbents and new players?
- Who is the target market and what’s price point for each?
- Can a Seed or Series A startup afford IPRally’s product? Or is it this just for Series A+ tech companies?
