About the job

Join Ankar

At Ankar, we believe that the innovation landscape is in dire need of transformation. Current systems for creating and safeguarding ideas fall short of the rapid changes in the industry. An astounding 90% of the value in S&P 500 companies is tied to intangible assets like intellectual property, yet R&D and IP teams find themselves overwhelmed with manual tasks, sifting through endless patents and paperwork instead of pushing innovation forward. Our mission is to change that.

We are developing the AI operating system for innovation, redefining how companies generate and protect their intellectual property. Our cutting-edge platform streamlines the journey from idea to defensible IP, featuring AI modules for patent drafting, office action responses, and infringement detection.

We are at a pivotal moment:

  • Having raised over $24 million from top-tier VCs including Atomico, Index Ventures, and Norrsken, along with prominent angel investors.

  • Collaborating with leading companies such as Fortune 500's L'Oréal and the prestigious law firm Vorys.

  • Expanding our elite team with talent from Palantir, Amazon, and BCG to address the $1 trillion innovation market. We're just getting started.

We are looking for passionate individuals who are ready to take ownership of ambitious projects, tackle complex and impactful challenges, and deliver the best work of their careers.

About Ankar

Ankar is revolutionizing the innovation process by building an advanced AI platform that transforms how companies manage and protect their intellectual property. Our innovative approach is designed to streamline patent workflows and enhance the overall efficiency of R&D efforts, making us a leader in the field.
