IP Venture Studio

Adelaide, South Australia

We stake the claim, then do the work.

IP Venture Studio owns and develops a portfolio of Australian inventions. Every one is protected on paper before a dollar goes into proving it.

Start a conversation How the studio works
How a concept becomes an owned asset A five-stage funnel narrowing from top to bottom: identified, screened, protected, proven, and finally commercial. Each stage is narrower than the one above it, and the final stage is filled solid. IDENTIFIED SCREENED PROTECTED PROVEN COMMERCIAL

Assets in the portfolio

Stages, applied to every one

Years on site before the first filing

Operator, start to finish

01 / Why

Good ideas rarely die of being wrong.

They die of being undocumented, unproven, then unfunded. Usually in that order.

[01] Undocumented

Nobody wrote it down

Ownership was never recorded, so the first serious conversation becomes an argument.

[02] Unproven

Built before tested

Money went into making the thing before anyone checked that it was needed.

[03] Unfunded

Evidence arrived late

By the time proof was asked for, there was nothing left to gather it with.

02 / Model

Five stages. Nothing skips one.

Every asset walks the same road, in order, with a review gate between each stage.

01

Protect

Patents, designs, trade marks and ownership registered before spending starts.

02

Validate

Prove a real problem exists and who has it. Several assets stop here.

03

Prototype

The smallest honest test. A working build, a trade trial, captured evidence.

04

Partner

Research institutions, grant programs, manufacturers, public-sector stakeholders.

05

Commercialise

Licence, sale, franchise, spin-out or launch. Whichever suits the asset.

Review gate / has this earned the next stage?

Assets are reviewed on a fixed cycle. Those meeting their milestones progress. Those that do not are paused, restructured or sold, which is a normal outcome.

03 / Portfolio

Six assets, described from a safe distance.

Category, stage and commercial route. The detail arrives under agreement.

Public safety software

Bushfire awareness and evacuation, built on physics-based fire behaviour and terrain-wind modelling.

Public-sector partnership, licensing or procurement

Property & construction

Takes the cost, delay and guesswork out of quoting a residential renovation.

Launch, licence or strategic sale

Fig. 03Prototype

Sports technology

In prototype and validation with an Australian university partner. Coaching, performance feedback, equipment analytics.

Licence to sport bodies or manufacturers

Building & trade tooling

A protected tool for a small, recurring, genuinely annoying problem on site.

Manufacturer licence, sale or joint venture

Confidential development

A registered Adelaide development in health and tourism, working through approvals. is disclosed under NDA only.

Concept pipeline

Identified opportunities held under screening, with a small number prioritised.

Protection, scoping and grant preparation

Assets are at varying stages of development and protection. None is represented as commercially proven, and nothing here is an offer, an invitation, or a recommendation. See Important Information.

Routes

Every asset exits on its own terms.

Forcing six different assets down one path is how good ones get wasted. Each is routed to the model that suits it.

Commercial route for each asset Six portfolio assets on the left, connected by curves to five commercial routes on the right. Public safety software routes to public sector and licence. Property and construction software routes to licence, sale or joint venture, and direct launch. Sports technology routes to licence. Building and trade tooling routes to licence and to sale or joint venture. The confidential development and the concept pipeline are not yet routed. PORTFOLIO ROUTE 01 Public safety software 02 Property & construction software 03 Sports technology 04 Building & trade tooling 05 Confidential development 06 Concept pipeline PUBLIC SECTOR Procurement or partnership LICENCE To manufacturers, sport bodies or operators SALE OR JOINT VENTURE Strategic sale, spin-out or JV DIRECT LAUNCH Built and operated by the studio NOT YET ROUTED In approvals or under screening

04 / Partners

Some of these move faster with someone else in the room.

A

Government & public sector

Public-safety assets, engaged through procurement, grant and stakeholder pathways.

B

Research institutions

Co-development, prototype testing and independent validation.

C

Manufacturers & licensees

Protected physical technologies at prototype stage, seeking licence or manufacture.

D

Inventors & operators

A protectable idea with a real problem behind it, wanting a structured route forward.

05 / Founder

Sixteen years on the tools, then a filing cabinet.

How the portfolio came about A vertical timeline of five points: sixteen years as a building contractor, All Build SA founded in Adelaide in 2019, NDIS home modifications carried out alongside occupational therapists, problems logged throughout without being acted on, and IP Venture Studio in 2026. 16 YEARS Building contractor On the tools, across Adelaide 2019 All Build SA founded Building and home modifications 2019 ONWARD NDIS home modifications Alongside occupational therapists THROUGHOUT Problems logged Written down, not acted on 2026 IP Venture Studio The structure built around them
Fig. C Where the portfolio came from

Most of this portfolio started as something that annoyed me on a job.

Sixteen years contracting before I started All Build SA in Adelaide in 2019. Much of that work is NDIS home modifications, done alongside occupational therapists, in people's houses, on their timelines.

You notice things. A tool that should exist and doesn't. A process that quietly burns a week every time. I wrote them down for years and did nothing. This studio is what happened when I stopped.
