Think Capital . . .

is a company’s technology and the brainpower of key employees who supply the company with its technological edge. In high tech companies, the protections taken to preserve this think capital are very important to prospective investors. These protections include securing the company’s title to important technologies through careful documentation, safeguards to prevent the theft or loss of company secrets, agreements to prevent competition by employees, and incentives to keep key personnel employed with the company.
