/ About this event

Founders are shipping faster than legacy patent firms can keep up, and paying attorneys to spend hours getting up to speed isn’t sustainable.

So Lightbringer rebuilt the model from scratch.

AI understands your innovations, tracks your portfolio, and surface what’s actually novel. A real patent attorney stays in the loop for every judgment call, review, and filing decision.

More than 200 founders are already choosing Lightbringer to protect what they’re building, with AI accelerating the work and experienced attorneys standing behind it.

Join us for a live look at Lightbringer MCP: your AI agent working directly with your patent attorney. Comments, redlines, approvals, all inside Claude, all in context.

Showing you the near future of IP protection will be Dominic Davies, a former software engineer with a deep interest in ML who became a patent attorney and then decided to build an AI-native service to replace legacy firms.

Joining him is Reid Jackson, Partner at Luminar Ventures, to discuss what IP signals in seed and Series A diligence, when patents matter for fundraising, and what founders get wrong. A serial founder turned VC, Reid has led or worked on seed and Series A deals across the US, UK, and Nordics.

Founders, builders, anyone curious where AI and IP protection intersect, welcome.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek —a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
