Why Now
Before there were unicorns and decacorns, before tech titans and venture rounds and runways, there were guilds. If you wanted to make glass in Venice or mill cloth in England, you joined the club and kept your secrets close. Innovation was heredity, locked inside closely held groups.
Then came the patent. In 1790, the United States issued Patent No. 1, giving a Philadelphia potash maker the right to his fertilizer recipe. The process was bureaucratic, inefficient, and - almost immediately -transformational.
What followed was a street brawl between invention and infrastructure. Bell beat Gray by hours. IBM started patenting before it built. Patents became war chests, tollbooths, leverage.
Then software arrived, followed more recently by advancements in AI. Volume increased. Pace increased. What had been designed to protect physical machines was now being asked to evaluate algorithms, tokens and proteins, across an ever-expanding frontier of innovation.
But the challenge is no longer just protecting invention after it happens.
Ankar believes the next era of innovation infrastructure must serve both sides of the equation: generating innovation and protecting it.
