Startups Need To Address IP Earlier

Many startups these days are being advised to "go global quickly." Whether this means relocating, opening offices in startup hubs or overseas, or simply appealing to foreign customers, it takes money, advice, and talent to grow―and even more to grow quickly. Software has reduced the time and costs required to translate ideas into consumer products. Improved communications and the growth in independent contracting have made finding talent a bit easier. But technology disruption does not advantage startups evenly. Startups in markets where money, experience and advice remain in better supply are finding it easier to access global markets and to access them more quickly. Larger, well-established companies access these markets still quicker.
