About the job
Innovation is undergoing a transformation. Traditional systems for creating and safeguarding ideas are struggling to adapt to rapid changes. Currently, 90% of the value of S&P 500 companies is derived from intangible assets such as intellectual property, while R&D and IP teams find themselves spending half of their time on tedious manual tasks, sorting through patents and documents rather than advancing innovation. The existing tools for creation and protection are outdated. We aim to revolutionize this.
Ankar is developing the AI operating system for innovation, redefining how organizations create and protect their inventions. Our platform integrates a range of AI modules, including patent drafting, office action responses, and infringement detection, to streamline the process of transforming ideas into robust intellectual property.
We are at a pivotal moment:
We have successfully raised over $24 million from leading venture capital firms such as Atomico, Index Ventures, and Norrsken, along with angel investors including the founders of Hugging Face and the CEO of Datadog.
Our clientele includes some of the world's most innovative organizations, such as Fortune 500 company L’Oréal and global law firm Vorys.
We are expanding our exceptional team with talents from renowned companies like Palantir, Amazon, and BCG, aiming to tackle the $1 trillion innovation market. This is just the beginning.
We are in search of individuals who are ready to take ownership of ambitious projects, tackle complex and impactful challenges, and deliver their best work.
