Webinar: Leveraging IP and Patents to Fund Your Startup
Funding your hardtech startup is tough, we know.
Join Nordic Hardtech and Lightbringer for a sharp, founder-focused session on how intellectual property and patents can be a powerful lever for funding.
Why do some startups get investor interest while others stall at the pitch deck? Often, the answer lies in how well they’ve protected their ideas.
Featuring:
– Jonas Åström, engineer & entrepreneur (Founder of Nordic Hardtech)
– Ola Wassvik, CCO & Co-founder at Lightbringer & Co-founder of Flatfrog
Ola brings rare insight from both sides of the table — as a seasoned deeptech founder and now as part of Lightbringer, the AI-native patent service helping tech founders move faster and file patents smarter. Their platform combines intelligent automation with human IP expertise to simplify the patent process and support scalable innovation.
Whether you're preparing for your first funding round or follow-ups down the line, this session will help you:
✅ Understand how IP influences investor confidence, both private investors and public funding
✅ Learn how to build IP into your funding strategy from day one
✅ How to concretely protect your IP
