Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reverse Ventures?
Reverse Ventures is the AI Co-Founder for Entrepreneurs. You bring the idea, we do everything else: patent protection, MVP and POC, fundraising up to $250K and corporate deals, while you keep 50% to 95% under the split you choose.
How much does it cost to file a patent?
Scoring your idea is free. When you subscribe, your plan covers patent drafting and government filing fees, at a fraction of what traditional patent attorneys charge ($10,000 to $15,000).
Do I own my innovations?
Yes. From day one you and Reverse Ventures co-own the patent as co-founding partners, under the split you choose, from 50/50 up to 95/5.
What kind of ideas can I submit?
Any novel invention — from software algorithms to hardware devices, biotech processes to consumer products. The AI will assess patentability.
How long does the patent process take?
The AI generates a complete draft in hours, not months. Traditional patent processes take 3–6 months just for drafting.
Is the corporate discovery agent really free?
Yes. The AI Discovery Agent is completely free to use. You can browse innovations, request details, and book calls at no cost.
What makes these investor deals different from typical pre-seed?
Every deal has patent protection and a confirmed corporate partner. This means built-in IP moat and go-to-market distribution from day one.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
Your plan is a 12-month commitment, billed monthly. If a payment fails and stays unpaid, the innovation is treated as abandoned and all rights transfer to Reverse Ventures. You can also choose to abandon your innovation at any time.
Is scoring my idea free?
Yes. Pitch your idea and get a free Disruption & Patentability Score. You only pay when you choose a plan.
