Upcoming Webinar: Patent Budgeting for Deep Tech Founders

Ola Wassvik
Serial entrepreneur, CCO & Co-founder of Lightbringer

Patent costs are predictable. Most founders just don't know where to look.

Join serial entrepreneur and IP strategist Ola Wassvik for a 30-minute masterclass on how to build a patent budget you can actually defend to your board, your CFO, and your investors. Ola has managed over 300 patent families and raised more than €84M across deep tech ventures.

Join us live on 11 March 2026 at 14:30 CET / 9:30 AM ET.

Sound familiar?

  • You've been blindsided by a patent invoice that was three times what you expected
  • You need to present next year's IP budget to finance — and you don't know where to start
  • You're filing in too many countries because no one told you to stop
  • Your law firm gives you estimates. You need numbers you can plan around.

Patent budgeting isn't complicated. But nobody teaches it to founders. Until now.

About the Host

Ola Wassvik, is a serial entrepreneur and IP strategist who has managed over 300 patent families and raised more than €84 million. Drawing on real world experience advising deep tech founders across funding stages, Ola translates patent theory into clear business decisions you can actually use. This session replaces guesswork with concrete rules of thumb that tie patent spend, portfolio size, and geographic coverage directly to funding, revenue, and go to market reality.

This is for you if

You are a:
  • Founder, CEO, or CTO at a deep tech company in biotech, robotics, hardware, or industrial tech
  • Preparing for a Series A or B raise and need your IP story to hold up
  • Building your first patent portfolio and want to avoid the expensive mistakes
  • Already filing patents but unsure whether your budget is right — or whether you're spending in the right places
