My Promise
At moatly™, this work is deeply personal to me.
I know that behind every idea is a person. Someone who has stayed up late thinking, worrying, hoping, and believing in something they simply can’t let go of. I know how much courage it takes to build, to share, and to put your work into the world.
So this is my commitment to you: I will treat your idea with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
I promise: to listen first before offering guidance, to meet you where you are without judgment or pressure, and to patiently explain things clearly and honestly, especially when the system feels overwhelming or confusing.
I promise: to protect what you’re building with intention and integrity, to help you understand your options, your risks, and your timing, and to help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
I believe ideas are entrusted to us for a reason. They deserve stewardship, not shortcuts. They deserve protection, not fear. And the people building them deserve support, not intimidation.
moatly™ exists so you don’t have to navigate this alone. So you can build boldly, share wisely, and protect what matters early, knowing someone is standing beside you who truly cares about your journey.
This is more than my work.
It’s how I choose to serve.
And it’s the promise behind moatly™.

"Kathryn Vatt was instrumental in helping file a provisional utility patent at a critical stage, before pitching to venture capital investors. She quickly understood both the technical and strategic aspects of our product and translated it into a clear, well-structured provisional that gave us confidence going into early conversations. Her guidance balanced practical startup realities, protecting the core IP while maintaining flexibility as the product evolves. I recommend Kathryn to any founder who needs thoughtful, business-savvy IP support early in the venture formation process. "
Monty Kothiwale
Founder & CEO, QASolve AI Inc.
"Kathryn has been an exceptional IP Strategist and a trusted advisor throughout our provisional patent
process. What stood out most was her ability to ask the right questions early, challenge assumptions, and ensure the invention was articulated in a way that preserves long-term flexibility. She is thorough, responsive, and highly disciplined in her approach, while still moving efficiently. I would strongly recommend Kathryn to any founder or technology leader seeking thoughtful, high-quality guidance on intellectual property."
Rachel Buchanan
Founder & CEO, IntegraLayer
"Working with Kathryn Vatt was an excellent experience from start to finish. She answered every question I had before I even knew to ask them, and made what can feel like an overwhelming process - filing IP and patents - surprisingly simple and even enjoyable. Her process is clear, streamlined, and incredibly well thought out. You can feel her deep expertise, but it’s paired with a founder’s empathy that makes everything approachable and easy to move through. Because of this work, I now feel confident speaking openly about my company with customers and potential partners, knowing I have a strong layer of protection in place.
If you’re a founder building fast and sharing early, Kathryn and moatly™ are exactly who you want in your corner."
