Why IP Capital Markets Reduce False Negatives (Founder Lens) Most ideas don’t die from lack of quality. They die in the pre-traction valley where belief exists, but capital doesn’t. Traditional funding waits for validation. By the time it arrives, leverage is gone and upside is diluted. City Protocol targets that structural gap by enabling earlier price discovery for intellectual property. When belief can express itself financially before outcomes are obvious: • Experimentation gets funded • Communities become aligned stakeholders • Founders gain optionality instead of dependency Failure becomes data, not extinction because capital distributes across portfolios of ideas, not single binary bets. This isn’t about enriching winners. It’s about reducing false negatives. Let more good ideas survive long enough to compound.
