Imagine if startup A joined startup B to provide their IP management processes. Don't discount the skills and value-adding that startup A would have learnt for their next startup or providing these services to other startups.

- anamax 19y agoWe don't know that the folks in startup A learned anythinguseful. We also don't know that A's processes or paperwork can provide any benefit to startup B, let alone if A is willing to sell for a lower price than B can get them from elsewhere. If A's processes and paperwork are valuable to other startups, A should be selling them itself. (B has a biz, and it's not processes and paperwork.)
