The company plans to use the new funding to expand its business in the United States and continue developing its AI-powered patent platform. Earlier, in December 2024 Lightbringer raised €4.2 million in a funding round led by Luminar Ventures and Alliance VC.

Dominic Davies, CEO and co-founder of Lightbringer, said, “Intellectual property has become one of the most powerful assets a DeepTech company can have. In a hypercompetitive market, the speed at which an inventor can file a patent application on their innovation can mean the difference between a company’s success and demise. As a patent lawyer, I’ve seen firsthand how the global patent system is not built for startups or the modern business environment. Most legal AI helps law firms become more efficient and protect their margins.

“We built Lightbringer to do the opposite: take on Big Law and return that value to entrepreneurs. This funding allows us to accelerate product development, deepen our U.S. presence with me relocating to lead our operations there.”

Dorus Olgers, Partner at Newion, said, “Lightbringer has demonstrated exceptional traction in a short period of time by building a platform that delivers clear and immediate value to founders, engineers, and innovation-led businesses. Lightbringer believes IP protection should be accessible to everyone, something that is not the case under today’s market conditions, and has built a platform that helps make that vision a reality.

“What sets the team apart is how quickly they’ve turned deep legal and technical expertise into a product that founders actually adopt. We are excited to support the team as they continue expanding internationally and establish Lightbringer as a leading platform for modern patent development and strategy.”

Founded in 2023 by Dominic Davies, Ola Wassvik, and Markus Andreasson, Lightbringer is an AI-powered patent platform designed for DeepTech startups and innovative technology companies.

The company combines artificial intelligence with a team of experienced patent attorneys to help businesses protect their inventions and intellectual property. By using its platform, companies can access high-quality patent services directly, without having to rely on traditional law firms.

Lightbringer aims to make the patent process faster, more efficient, and more accessible for growing technology companies.
