Patent Watch

YCombinator

AI for detecting patent infringements

We automate patent infringement detection. Our software interprets patents, identifies competing products, and generates claim charts showing who’s infringing and how. Teams use us to: - Find licensing and litigation targets - Send cease-and-desist letters - Find counter litigation - Sell IP in wind-downs - Accelerate M&A diligence We also run AI invalidity and prior-art searches to help your patents hold up in court. Companies spend up to $50k to file and maintain a single patent over its lifetime, but once it's granted, they let it collect dust. With Patent Watch, you can start turning your patent portfolio into revenue in 10 minutes.

Pavoot

YCombinator

AI Event Manager for in-person events

Pavoot is an AI event manager for companies that run in-person customer events. More and more companies are investing in dinners, summits, and community events because relationships drive revenue. But today, running events means sourcing attendees, sending invitations, hosting the event, and then manually digging through notes, emails, and spreadsheets afterward to figure out who attended, what was discussed, who is a strong lead, and who should be followed up with. Most teams either send generic "thanks for coming" emails or never properly capture the value created during the event. Pavoot replaces this fragmented workflow with a single AI system that keeps every attendee, interaction, conversation, and follow-up connected in one place, making relationship-driven growth scalable. Gohar and Ana met while studying Computer Science at ETH Zurich. Gohar is a six-time Swiss chess champion and was the youngest member of Switzerland’s national chess team at age 13. Ana won more than 20 medals in scientific Olympiads, ranked 1st in CS at Latin America’s most competitive university, and built internal AI systems used by hundreds of data scientists at some of the largest banks in Latin America before moving to ETH Zurich for AI research. === Book a demo: pavoot.com

Pax Historia

YCombinator

The first AI-powered grand strategy platform

Pax Historia is an alternate-history sandbox game where players choose a country, a moment in time, and rewrite the course of history. What if Rome never fell? What if the Soviet Union survived? What if Genghis Khan ruled for another generation? We go beyond history, too. What if aliens invaded Earth? What if you were a college dropout creating a tech startup? The ability to create, edit, and copy custom maps, actors, historical context, and more means that users can play nearly any scenario they can imagine. In the last four months we've organically built a passionate fanbase of tens of thousands of daily active players and we're excited to expand on this early start. Consider joining us to help build vastly better tools for creators and experiences for players.
