“Hyperdrive went out to market looking for IP support two years ago. As a growing company dependent on IP, this was a key strategic selection for us – we were looking for a partner we would be happy to work with long term. We chose Mathys & Squire because Andrew White and his colleague, Sean Leach, stood out from the competition for the proactive nature of their approach, and for their science and engineering knowledge. There was no need for us to educate them on the fundamentals of our technology.”
