IP Contamination

Many small companies avoid collaboration because of possible IP contamination.

If I get contaminated by someone else’s IP, I can fix it with a conventional NDA.

If I go to a startup accelerator, my IP is worth twice what it would be.

Most NDAs have a provision for dealing with IP created during collaboration.

Startup Weekends are great for starting new companies with clean ownership of IP.

There isn’t any big need for Ethical Collaboration in startup communities.
