The Distressed Asset Play
When a venture-backed tech startup runs out of runway and files for Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy, their most valuable assets (patents, codebases, and top engineers) become suddenly available. Distressed asset investors who contact the court-appointed trustee first have a massive advantage.
Navigating the Courts
The federal PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) system is archaic.
- Jurisdiction Tracking: Focus specifically on the bankruptcy courts in Delaware, Northern California, and New York.
- Asset Extraction: Have the system automatically flag filings where the debtor lists assets over $10 million.
