About Solve Intelligence
We’re building an AI-powered platform for generating and managing patents (see TechCrunch and World IP Review).
Backed by Y Combinator, our goal is to help outside counsel, in-house IP teams, and inventors use AI to elevate the efficiency and quality with which they generate and manage patents.
Our product is an in-browser document editor. It works just like Google Docs but, under the hood, is powered by an AI copilot to help with every aspect of the patent application and management lifecycle.
We’ve had significant traction since our launch, and we’re growing fast. Our revenue is increasing 20-30%+ month-on-month, and we’re now selling to 60+ IP teams across the US, Europe, Asia, and South America. These include some of the largest law firms in the world such as DLA Piper, smaller boutiques such as American Patent Agency, solo practitioners, startups, and large tech enterprises.
Our users love our product, reporting 50-90% efficiency improvements. WIPR recently published a case study about a Solve Intelligence customer, Volkan Hamamcıoğlu from InPera IP, who ‘has reduced patent application drafting time from 20 to 10 hours’ for his Firm by using Solve’s AI product.
We’re on a high-growth trajectory, and we’re looking for people who want to join us on the journey to building a billion-dollar company.
Come join the rocket ship!
