IDEAS
Every great innovation starts with an idea. At PA Garage we look for and find unique ideas, extract thier value, patent it, and then protect it. Every patent is treated like a seed in a garden that keeps regenerating returns. This ensures that it earns the optimal profit for us and investors. We are enthusiastic geeks with interest in subjects like science and art, basically we are people who just love new and fresh ideas. Particularly when they bring profit to those involved. At PA Garage we embrace and appreciate originality and individuality which adds value. The patent team at PA Garage has more than fifty years of collective experience in the precise value and proprietary evaluation methods and standards that take the best ideas to levels beyond conventional vision and protections.
Every entrepreneur and investor we use is hand-selected to take on a new approach and view of the Silicon Valley. We are dedicated toward creating the best possible returns on profitable ideas. We use a hands-on approach and rapid value assessment techniques. This ensures that the best ideas create their own sectors and the right investors will be able to achieve optimal efficacy of their ideas within the marketplace.
An idea we nurture has every opportunity to succeed as resources from our Sand Hill venture partnerships and Angel community is connected to our strategic resources and legal experience. The collective aim is to achieve success and reach the exit goal desired by all involved; acquisitions, IPO, enhanced licensing deals, or a long term vision.
We license patents, manufacture from them, monetize them across various fronts, and even sell them in lucrative acquisitions. The key difference is that the formula is investor return based, to maximize as many revenue streams and returns as possible.
We bring together individual talents to complement their shared visions and drive. We focus on getting results in as short a time period as possible; a process that we call joint force. This concept has earned us our reputation as a group of mad scientists. Our ingenuity and our dedication are second to none in Silicon Valley.
“The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.” – Thomas Edison




PALO ALTO
Palo Alto, from the name, “Palo Alto” literally means “tall tree” – a charter city in the northwest corner of Santa Clara County, California, United States. It shares its borders with East Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, etc.
Palo Alto was established by Leland Stanford Sr. when he founded Stanford University. The city is headquarters to a number of high-technology companies, including Hewlett-Packard (HP), IDEO, Skype, Palantir Technologies and many more. It has also served as an incubator to several other high-technology companies such as Google, Intuit, VMware, etc.
The modern Palo Alto area was first recorded by the 1769 party of Gaspar de Portolà, a 63-man, 200-horse expedition from San Diego toMonterey. The group overshot Monterey in the fog to the San Francisquito Creek watershed and ultimately camped by a tall redwood later to be known as El Palo Alto.
Less than a mile away from that tall tree a small wood shed grew into the tallest known name in innovation, the garage where the Silicon Valley was born.
In 1937, David “Dave” Packard and William “Bill” Hewlett had their first business meeting in Palo Alto. Both men attended Stanford University, where its Dean of Engineering Frederick Terman encouraged his students to establish their own electronics companies in the area instead of leaving California.
In 1938, newly married Dave and Lucile Packard moved into a three-room apartment, with Bill Hewlett sleeping in the shed. Hewlett and Packard began to use the one-car garage, with $538 in capital.
They partnered in 1939, creating the name Hewlett-Packard with a coin toss.
Hewlett-Packard’s first product, built in the garage, was an audio oscillator, the HP200A of which eight of them were purchased by Walt Disney Studios to test and certify the sound systems in theaters that were going to run the first major film released in stereophonic sound, Fantasia.
So many who changed the world did so from their Palo Alto residence’s garage and enjoyed the deep history of free thinking above the tallest forest of trees the city always encourages.
Seeing things from new visionary perspectives with unlimited imagination was considered normal in the culture of Palo Alto. Ideas abound, and a sheer willingness to support others dreams is the genetic code.
The tradition is almost one of an unknown osmosis, for those who live in the environment know that no idea is completely without merit, and that the persistence of thought can always change the entire world.
From Stanford University to the innovations that founded the Silicon Valley, Palo Alto has been the founding concept of the garage philosophy of startups. From nothing can come anything, all you need is unrestricted vision, willingness to work harder than anybody else.
The epicenter for the Valley is and always will be Palo Alto.
And Palo Alto’s epicenter is and always will be . . . The Garage.



GARAGE
PA Garage was founded by Jay Freeman, a known innovator. Jay had an idea: he wanted to put together a team of passionate, talented individuals who could offer the greatest value in scalable returns to investors and entrepreneurs alike.
Our real specialty is seeing things. We spot the unique value in ideas, extract that value, patent it, and protect it, ensuring that we optimize the profit that we can earn from it. We are playful in our working style, geeks all, enthusiasts about a wide range of topics in science and art. At our core, we are people who love fresh ideas. Originality and individuality are not buzzwords at PA Garage: they are the principles upon which we operate from one day to the next.
THE TEAM
The team at PA Garage is on delivering returns to investors and entrepreneurs alike, and our record proves that. We are drive to produce results in as little time as possible. In order to achieve this, the PA Garage team targets specific types of investors and entrepreneurs, in particular those whose combined talent come together to form what we call a Joint Force. This Joint Force is the power behind the “mad scientists” laboring at all hours in PA Garage, working tirelessly to come up with fresh ideas, and stay with the job until these ideas have come to life in the way each meaningful idea deserves.
PA Garage’s aim is to create as many revenue streams as possible that will deliver substantial returns for our investors. Our streamlined processes enable us to focus on the liquidity and timing of events and plan well strategized exit paths. Joint Force has direct connection to key visionaries who constantly update carefully selected market values. The venture team also possesses unique experience to manage that value and the crucial element of timing, which is often cited as the main factor for ventures failing. The result is an exciting array of strategic options for early investors and entrepreneurs alike which will be hard to find in any comparable private equity venture force.


THE JOINT FORCE PROCESS
We hand-select every entrepreneur and investor at PA Garage. Because we want to build the strongest foundation possible for returns on profitable ideas, we go into every rapid value assessment with a hands-on mindset. This way, we are selecting only the best ideas and developing approaches that function as they should. We’re working to create the future for smart people today.
We bring together individual talents in a process that we call joint force, which is intended to complement shared visions and drive results in as short a time period as possible. The concept of joint force is what has earned us our reputation as a group of mad scientists. Our ingenuity and our dedication are second to none in Silicon Valley.
Sleep, in our minds, is always an ancillary priority. We care about results, and we do not stop until we get them.

“The new model is actually the old one, it is this core element of accelerated R&D labs that brought us the greatest value and returns in history, the very ones that the VC leviathans miss by over 98% of those invested, PA Garage doesn’t miss by carpet bombing, we are laser guided to scalable returns for those few who are invited to join.“
– PAG Lab Team



“The beautiful model we all want to be a part of in our life is the one that grants us the fortunate ‘early seeker’ position and participant in that once in a lifetime idea that changes the world and scales ones own private portfolio in doing the same; that is PA Garage’s sole mission.”
– PAG Venture Team
“Every idea I’ve developed I have had amazing people ask us to get in on the ground floor and somehow participate before the time came when they couldn’t, but by design all venture models excluded what would’ve been an amazing contributor or advisor, or key asset and good fit benefitting to a great idea when it needed it the most. So I finally designed one just to do just that, and called it Joint Force, where only at PA Garage we can all fully enjoy that journey with an open door to all of the possibilities.”
–PAG’s Founder

“There are no rules here — we’re trying to accomplish something.”
