Solve Intelligence Raises $40 Million Series B to Revolutionize AI‑Powered Patent Workflows
Solve Intelligence, a rapidly growing legal‑tech startup that uses artificial intelligence to streamline patent and intellectual property (IP) workflows, has secured a substantial $40 million Series B funding round, accelerating its mission to transform the global patent industry and expanding its AI‑powered platform for legal professionals. The new financing brings the company’s total capital raised to approximately $55 million, following a $12 million Series A earlier in 2025 and an initial $3 million seed round at its founding in 2023.
The latest funding was co‑led by Visionaries and existing investor 20VC, reaffirming strong confidence in Solve’s growth trajectory. Additional participation came from returning backers Thomson Reuters Ventures and Y Combinator, as well as Operator Collective and a roster of high‑profile angel investors, including founders and executives from well‑known technology companies.
Solve Intelligence was established in 2023 by CEO Dr. Chris Parsonson, CTO Angus Parsonson, and Chief Research Officer Dr. Sanj Ahilan, with headquarters in San Francisco and London and a vision to build an AI “co‑pilot” for every stage of the patent lifecycle. The company’s software enables inventors, in‑house legal teams, and outside counsel to collaborate more efficiently across patent workflows, including invention disclosure, drafting patent applications, responding to office actions, managing continuations and divisionals, and coordinating global filings. Its browser‑based platform integrates with existing tools like Microsoft Word while offering advanced AI capabilities tailored to patent language and legal standards.
The Series B financing is earmarked to accelerate product development and broaden Solve’s reach in both established and emerging markets. A key focus is the rollout of a new product called Charts, designed to automate complex tasks such as infringement and invalidity claim chart generation, freedom‑to‑operate reviews, standard‑essential patent mappings, and other portfolio‑level analyses that traditionally require significant attorney time and expertise. This expansion positions Solve as more than just a drafting tool, moving toward a comprehensive IP workflow system that can address both prosecution and litigation needs.
Solve’s rapid evolution follows strong early traction. Since its Series A round in April 2025, when the company raised $12 million to build out its foundational AI patent solutions with support from investors including Microsoft’s venture fund and Thomson Reuters Ventures, Solve has seen annual recurring revenue increase more than tenfold to eight figures, all while maintaining profitability and generating more cash than it has raised. Its customer base has also expanded substantially, with more than 400 IP teams across six continents — including law firms and corporate legal departments — now relying on its platform.
The company reports that roughly 60 percent of its customers are law firms, such as DLA Piper and Perkins Coie, with the remaining 40 percent representing corporate IP departments at major enterprises including Siemens and Avery Dennison. Users have credited Solve’s platform with dramatic efficiency gains, often cutting drafting time by 60 to 80 percent without sacrificing quality, a claim echoed by legal professionals who have adopted the technology to handle complex patent drafting and analysis tasks at scale.
The infusion of capital is expected to support Solve’s continued global expansion, including hiring additional talent across AI research, software engineering, and patent law, as well as bolstering its on‑the‑ground presence in key markets with new offices planned in New York City and Munich. These strategic moves aim to enhance customer support, drive adoption across diverse legal ecosystems, and deepen Solve’s integration with enterprise workflows.
Industry observers see Solve’s success as part of a broader trend in legal technology, where AI tools are increasingly applied to address inefficiencies in longstanding workflows. By embedding advanced models into patent drafting, prosecution, and analysis — and enabling firms to encode proprietary expertise into reusable AI templates — Solve is positioning itself at the forefront of legal AI innovation. Its growth comes amid rising demand for tools that can reduce administrative burden, improve accuracy, and accelerate time‑to‑decision for complex intellectual property work.
With a strengthened investor base, expanded product suite, and growing global footprint, Solve Intelligence is now poised to influence how legal professionals manage IP portfolios and respond to evolving market demands. The company’s emphasis on security, customization, and enterprise‑grade performance underscores its ambition to become the default AI platform for patent teams worldwide, reshaping the economics and workflows of one of the world’s largest and most technically demanding industries.
