Patent Strategy

I want to offer my patent and consulting to a startup. How do I establish contact on eye level with one of their CEOs on LinkedIn or directly?

As a solopreneur/freelancer I still own a patent for location based display of personalized data on mobile devices from my previous (failed) startup which I also failed to monetize until now. I'd like to offer that patent and consulting to a startup that offers a broader approach to a problem I tackled before. What would be the best way to approach them?

I help clients leverage and monetize their patents in a variety of ways. One of the best methods is to attend and exhibit at trade shows in your field. Targeting startups may be one approach, but that's not the only market for your patent. I'd be happy to talk with you about identifying the best trade show and working the direct solicitation angle as well. Let me know when you're ready to get started!
