Stilta

Founded in 2026 and based in San Francisco, CA, Stilta is a Y Combinator-backed company. The founding team consists of Oscar Adamsson, Oskar Block, Tobias Estreen, and Petrus Werner, who are four engineers with backgrounds at McKinsey, QuantumBlack (McKinsey & Company), and Amazon Web Services, where they gained experience building and deploying scalable AI systems for large organizations. This collective experience in both technology and business scaling informs Stilta's approach to creating tools for a high-stakes professional environment.

The company targets IP practitioners at leading firms, offering a solution to the challenge of using disconnected and rigid tools for patent work. By integrating AI with clear traceability, Stilta aims to solve issues of trust and workflow integration that general LLM solutions do not address. The software offers modules for discovery, creation, monitoring, and valuation of patents. Security is a core feature, with deployment options including cloud, private cloud, or on-premise to match client security needs, and the company policy states that customer data is not used to train models. Stilta has paying customers in both Europe and the US.
