Reinvent how companies create and protect their inventions.
We are building the AI operating system for innovation - tools to help inventors turn ideas into defensible IP.
Software exists to solve hard, overlooked problems
We spent years at companies like Palantir, Amazon, and BCG building systems for the world’s toughest challenges. That work shaped our belief that software exists to tackle hard, overlooked problems that move the world forward. We see how companies invent and protect inventions as one of those challenges.
Reinventing how the world invents
90% of S&P 500 company value is in intangible assets like intellectual property (IP). Yet the teams creating this value spend half their time sifting through documents instead of pushing the frontier. We’re building transformative tools to empower inventors in tackling the toughest problems in the world.
We’ve raised $24M to date
From Tier-1 VCs like Atomico, Index Ventures, Norrsken, Daphni, and angels like the Founder of Hugging Face, CEO from Datadog, and Leaders from DeepMind and OpenAI
We’re already working with the world’s most innovative companies
Industry leaders like L’Oréal and Valeo are already using our products, and that foundation is enabling us to take on increasingly complex problems across the trillion dollar innovation market.
Coming from Palantir, I was drawn to Ankar AI’s mission to reinvent how innovation happens with AI. Here, I got to tackle meaningful, complex problems alongside a team that’s as passionate about building great technology as they are about learning from one another
Everyday feels like we are building something truly new - combining deep tech with a sense of purpose and camaraderie that makes work genuinely rewarding.

Head of Engineering; Ex-Palantir
At Ankar AI, I get to work on exciting challenges that push me to grow as both a machine learning engineer and a problem-solver. The team is incredibly supportive, everyone’s open to sharing knowledge and helping each other improve
It’s great to see our ideas take shape into real products that make a meaningful impact for R&D and IP teams around the world.
