Inventr: We help deep tech companies automate the patent process. | Wefunder

These companies spend years developing their solutions and rely heavily on patents to secure their innovative work and bring value to their company. In fact, patents can hold up to 80% of a deep tech company's value. We talked to lots of early stage deep tech companies, and we learned that they're leaving ideas on the table because it takes too long for them to research whether an idea can be patented or not

Inventr helps early-stage deep tech companies automate the patent process - from the second they come up with ideas all the way to the patent application

We help companies document and manage their ideas, automate research around patent protection, and move through the patent process. We take weeks of work and use A.I. to turn it into minutes of automation
