💡About Solve Intelligence

We’re the fastest growing startup building AI products to transform how IP professionals work. We’re building an AI-powered end-to-end platform to help with every aspect of invention harvesting, patent generation, and IP portfolio management (see TechCrunch).

One year since we started Solve Intelligence as three hackers building cool stuff with AI, we’ve been growing super fast. Our revenue is increasing 20-30%+ month-on-month, and we’re now selling to 200+ 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, solo practitioners, tech startups, and large 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.

Abhi (Founding Full-Stack Engineer): Abhi studied Computer Science at IIT in India. After starting his career at Goldman Sachs, he co-founded WagStays - an “Airbnb for dogs” - where he served as CTO, built the entire product from scratch, and scaled it to 10K+ users and ₹200K MRR. Despite eventual closure due to COVID-19, he continued his startup journey by leading a team of 10+ engineers at a fintech startup, building a decentralized futures exchange with $100M+ daily volume. He then joined Encord (YC W21) in London, where he developed AI model evaluation frameworks and real-time analytics systems that improved model performance by over 90%.

Daniel (Founding Full-Stack Engineer): Daniel studied Computing at Imperial College London. During his undergraduate, he intern’d at a bike rental startup where he single-handedly rebuilt the entire frontend, backend, and infrastructure of the software product which today is being used to rent and maintain 1K+ bikes across Oxford.
