About Ankar

Innovation is the key to solving society's greatest challenges, and IP (intellectual property) plays a pivotal role in encouraging, driving, and capitalising on innovation.

At Ankar AI, our mission is to empower IP and R&D teams with AI tools to innovate more efficiently, thoroughly, and productively.

We are building a platform for inventors to accelerate their work throughout the entire IP lifecycle by providing them with best in class software, leveraging LLMs, for IP search, patent filing, freedom-to-operate analysis, and infringement detection.

With the growing complexity and volume of IP today, traditional software is no longer meeting the needs of inventors. Many companies are turning to us to help them stay at the forefront of innovation by cutting through the noise of the millions of patents filed each year.

We believe we are the right team to tackle this problem.

• World class team of engineers and product leaders from Palantir, Amazon, BCG, and top startups. Together, we have a proven track record of tackling tough problems and delivering mission-driven software.
• We are growing rapidly with increasing customer traction. We are already working with the world's most innovative organisations (Fortune 500 companies and top patent filers) to solve critical needs with our product.
• We are backed by Tier 1 VCs and Angel Investors, including Index Ventures, co-founders of Hugging Face, CEO of Datadog, and product experts from DeepMind and OpenAI.

We are now growing the team to reach our ambitions. We hire the best and reward accordingly.

• Compensation & Equity: We offer competitive compensation and a generous equity package, making you an owner of the company.
• Career Growth: You have the opportunity to shape your role, own your impact, grow with the company, and build the skills to accelerate your career at Ankar and beyond.
