01General information only
The content on hb-022.com, including the Readiness Diagnostic, Investor Questions, case studies and service descriptions, is general information for science-led founders. It is not legal, patent, regulatory, financial, tax or investment advice, and it should not be relied on as such. Speak to qualified professionals about your specific situation.
02Diagnostic scores and assessments
Your Readiness Diagnostic score is guidance based on your own answers. It is not an evaluation by an investor and does not predict the outcome of any funding round.
The IP Business Scorecard and our IP analysis are business assessments. They are not legal opinions on patentability, validity, freedom to operate or infringement, which come only from your patent counsel.
03Not an offer of securities or investment advice
Hb-022 Inc. is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser or funding portal. We do not raise funds, and we do not offer, sell or recommend securities.
Nothing on this website is an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security.
Where, with a founder's written consent, we introduce a company to investors we know, we charge no fee for the introduction. An introduction is not an endorsement or a recommendation to invest, and investors must carry out their own due diligence.
04No guaranteed outcomes
We work to improve the quality of your decisions and your preparation. We cannot and do not guarantee any outcome, including:
- funding
- valuation
- patent grant
- regulatory approval
- licensing
- market or category leadership
05Case studies
Case studies are shared with our clients' consent and are anonymized. They describe past engagements for illustration only. Results depend on each company's circumstances, and past results do not guarantee similar results for others.
Figures reflect the time of each analysis and may be rounded or shown as ratios to protect confidentiality.
06Forward-looking statements
Descriptions of programmes in development, planned studies or licensing opportunities reflect current expectations. They involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially.
08No client relationship without an agreement
Using this website, completing the Readiness Diagnostic, or contacting us does not create a client, advisory or fiduciary relationship. That begins only when both parties sign an engagement agreement.
09Confidential information
Please don't send details of unfiled inventions or other confidential information before an NDA is in place. Disclosing an unfiled invention can affect whether it can still be patented.

Some content draws on public and licensed third-party sources. We take care with accuracy but cannot guarantee that third-party information is complete or current.
Links to other websites are provided for convenience, and we are not responsible for their content. Product and company names mentioned belong to their respective owners.
