Brainbase, a Los Angeles, CA-based maker of intellectual property licensing platforms Brainbase Assist and Marketplace, raised $3m in seed funding.
The round was led by Struck Capital with participation from Tectonic Capital, Bonfire Ventures, Sterling Road, and Watertower Ventures.
Along with the funding, a new member will join the board – Ray Hatoyama, an expert in IP and licensing and the chief executive officer of Hatoyama Studio and Independent Director at LINE Corp, will take a seat on the board offering strategic insight on company growth opportunities.
Founded in 2016 by Nate Cavanaugh, Karl Johan Vallner and Nikolai Tolkatshjov, Brainbase is a technology platform that allows companies to manage and monetize their intellectual property through licensing.
The company also announced two key senior leadership hires, including:
