About SQUIRREL IP
We're on a mission to democratize intellectual property management through cutting-edge AI technology and collaborative innovation.
Who Are We
SQUIRREL IP began as a simple idea between a scientist and a developer who saw how innovation was getting lost in the patent maze. We saw brilliant patents gather dust, innovators struggling to find the right industry partners, and companies spending months scouting for the right technologies — even when they were just a click away. That's when the idea of SQUIRREL IP was born.
From building our first prototype to speaking with innovators and industries, what started as an idea is beginning to take shape to transform how patents are analyzed, discovered, and commercialized.

Our Journey
Milestones that shaped our mission
Just an Idea and a Name
Squirrel IP was founded in February 2024. We worked closely with early innovators, tested multiple models, and facilitated initial commercialization meetings.
First Prototype, First Real Steps
After three iterations and countless late nights, we launched our first version of the AI-powered patent analysis tool. It wasn't perfect, but it worked — and it was ours
Innovators Join In
We opened the doors to early users and started building our community. Real people, real patents, and real feedback shaped what came next.
Tech Scouting Goes Live
We kicked off our first open innovation projects, helping companies scout for the right technologies — and giving innovators new ways to get discovered.

The Future of IP Management
What We Are Building
We're not just building a platform — we're building the missing bridge between innovation and industry. SQUIRREL IP is where patents actually start working for you. Whether you're a scientist, founder, or R&D team — it's the one space where your IP can be understood, discovered, and turned into real-world opportunities. From AI-driven patent insights to open innovation tools and a growing marketplace — it's everything we wished existed when we started.
We're creating a space where a researcher can quickly see how valuable their patent really is, a startup can find tech that solves the exact problem they're working on, teams can collaborate without endless calls and pitch decks
