Lightbringer raises $10M to make patent lawyers optional for deep tech startups
Lightbringer raised $10 million to expand its AI patent platform into the US and serve deep tech startups faster and cheaper.Summary
Swedish AI patent platform Lightbringer has raised $10 million in a Series A round co-led by 6 Degrees Capital and Newion to support product development, US market entry, and international growth. The company says it achieved 300% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 2026 and serves more than 200 deep tech companies across 17 countries. Lightbringer aims to replace traditional patent firms by combining agentic AI with in-house patent attorneys, helping companies capture inventions, draft applications, manage portfolios, analyze competitors, and build IP strategy through one interface. The platform claims to reduce patent filing timelines from around two months to a few days and cut costs by about 50% through a fixed-price subscription model. Founded in 2023 by patent attorney Dominic Davies, software engineer Markus Andreasso, and former FlatFrog CTO Ola Wassvik, the company positions itself as AI-native intellectual property infrastructure rather than a conventional legal AI tool. The funding will also support CEO Dominic Davies' relocation to lead American expansion, with the company headquartered in Malmö and offices in Stockholm, London, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
