Startup & IP valuation

We valuate emerging companies and IP assets

Primary Purposes for Valuation

  • Buying or selling a company (as a component of company valuation).
  • Facilitating joint ventures.
  • Informing Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) processes.
  • Sale or licence of patents (for technology transfer and commercialisation).


Patented or not, the accurate valuation of research findings and patents is a crucial step in technology transfer


At KnowTransfer, we build precise and defensible patent valuations, helping research groups and investors determine the objective worth of their intellectual property, which includes:

Technical Review

We conduct a thorough examination of the patent and all related documentation provided by the client.

Net Present Value (NPV) Calculation

This comprehensive calculation incorporates information on:

  • Aspects related to the protected technology.
  • Relevant market conditions.
  • Key economic and financial aspects.
  • Other strategic aspects, potential risks, and opportunities.

Screening of similar patents (Optional)

We have proprietary tools that enable the identification and comparative study of similar patents, conducted even prior to patent application.
