Eric Karich

USPTO Patent Attorney & Startup IP Strategist

Investor with Tech Coast Angels

1,000+Startups launched
90%USPTO allowance rate
25+Years of IP practice

Eric Karich has spent over 25 years helping founders launch their startups. As a patent attorney, his numbers are hard to argue with. A 90% USPTO patent allowance rate, an 80% appeal win rate, zero patents ever invalidated in court, and national recognition as a Top Patent and Trademark Firm. As founder of EmpowerIP™ and Karich & Associates, he has helped startups and inventors in 30+ countries protect their ideas, secure investor-ready IP, and build the kind of defensible moat that makes a company fundable.

As an investor with the Tech Coast Angels, Eric has experienced the investor side of the equation first-hand, and is able to speak directly about investor concerns, and exactly how to address them.

“Most founders wait until after they raise to think about patents. By then, they have already left value on the table and handed their competitors a free pass to copy everything they built.”
Honest Answers

What Might Be Stopping You
From Registering Right Now

These are the four things founders say most often before they attend and what they say after.

Concern
“My startup is too early to be thinking about investors.”
Reality
The best time to prepare is at the very start. All of the topics covered by this webinar are foundational issues that face all startups. They are best addressed right at the start, not after they become a problem. Raising money just exposes these early mistakes.
Concern
“I do not have the right network to get in front of investors.”
Reality
Network is built, not inherited. This webinar will get you going in the right direction, and we can help guide you in moving forward. A good place to start is with an Angel investing group, like the Tech Coast Angels.
Concern
“My financials are not clean enough to show investors yet.”
Reality
Investors at pre-seed expect clarity, not perfection. This training shows you exactly how to frame gaps in a way that builds confidence rather than concern.
Concern
“Is this just going to be a sales pitch?”
Reality
You will leave with information that is critical to any startup seeking investment. There is no pitch. No upsell. Just 60 minutes of straight talk from someone who has seen these deals from both sides. If you find it valuable and want to explore working with Eric, that conversation is always available but entirely on your terms.
