How to protect IP in crowd funding

質問

We have an app project in the making and are now considering crowd funding as an option to secure some early capital to fund the finalization of the app's development and some other ongoing projects. When starting a Kickstarter (or other platforms), how can we best secure funding, but not give away too much of our IP?

First of all... financing and IP are two separate issues. I suggest that you make statements about your IP so as to ensure that your investors understand your value proposition, but you should also ensure that you're not going to give away any trade secrets in the process

Lastly, you should have a plan to manage your IP and Intangible assets from the beginning of your company. Without it, you're going to get hit with a lot of problems further down the road.
