Announcing Tradespace's $4 Million Seed Round
Summary
When I founded Tradespace in 2019 the vision was simple to unlock the billions of dollars in intellectual property trapped in companies, universities, and labs. At the same time, we are now able to pursue even deeper IP use-cases applications for our bespoke AI models.Its easy to raise money in a hot market; however, periods of sustained uncertainty tend to re-focus investors on core business fundamentals and most importantly delivering value to customers. We spent the last four years bootstrapped, building an incredibly lean, focused team that prioritized customer value and experience over everything else. Annual patent filings have tripled in the last ten years, corporate IP spending is at record highs, and technology convergence has put a premium on collaboration and licensing. Technology wont solve all of these problems, but platforms like Tradespace can enable IP leaders to spend more time on strategic issues.
