Today, I'm thrilled to share that @Garden_Intel is being acquired by SIM IP for $150m — creating the world's leading IP monetization and licensing platform.
SIM IP started off as our customer, and as we spent more time with them among hundreds of other users, we realized that to truly change the market we operate in, we had to vertically integrate to build a one-of-one software enabled business.
To say this journey has been surreal would be an understatement.
I started Garden from my Stanford dorm room as a senior with a laptop and a thesis: reasoning models and better search could help average people understand patents. Little did I know the impact it would have in unlocking the trillions of dollars of untapped value sitting in patent portfolios around the world.
I was a 22-year-old first-time founder who had never raised a dollar, never hired anyone full time, and if we’re being honest, had no idea what I was doing at some points. So many people took a bet on me when they had every reason not to. I will never forget that.
To my team — you are the reason we're here. You believed in a weird idea about AI and patents before it was obvious. You worked nights, weekends, and through moments when the outcome was far from certain. We faced rejection over and over before our use case became obvious. This is your win.
To our investors — thank you for backing a kid with a 5 page memo and a dream. Your conviction gave us the runway to build something real. We made a lot of pivots before we got to something tangible, so your raw conviction in our team is something I will never take for granted.
To our customers — thank you for taking a bet on us and helping usher in the everyday use of reasoning models in patent litigation and prosecution.
To our competitors - thank you for forcing us to be better everyday.
As part of SIM IP, Garden becomes the technology engine behind a pure-play licensing and royalty company that is scaling nine-figures in revenue. We're not just analyzing patents anymore — we're building the infrastructure that will define how innovation is valued and monetized for decades to come.
The mission hasn't changed. We're still obsessed with the same problem: less than 2% of patents ever generate revenue for their inventors. That's a market failure. And now, we have the scale, capital, and team to fix it.
I'm eternally grateful for how far we've come — and even more excited for what's next.
We’ve published a new shareholder letter from our founders, Erich Spangenberg and David Kutcher, sharing updates on our progress and priorities.

Today, @SIMIP_Official announced a new trade secret litigation financing partnership with Tangibly!
Trade secret theft costs businesses hundreds of billions annually, yet most claims are never pursued. This partnership changes that.
Together, SIM IP and Tangibly provide a coordinated path from intelligence to enforcement:
• AI-driven identification and validation of potential trade secret claims
• Early assessment of evidentiary readiness and economic value
• Litigation financing and strategic advisory for qualified matters
The partnership enables companies, particularly smaller innovators, to assess and pursue qualified trade secret claims without bearing the full financial burden of enforcement.

As the year comes to a close, we want to thank our clients and partners for their trust and collaboration. Happy Holidays from the SIM IP team! We look forward to continuing our work together in the year ahead.
In our latest video with Jennifer Burdman, Managing Director at SIM IP, many in-house legal and IP teams simply do not get enough time with investors to explain their IP assets or how they can be monetized. That is why SIM IP focuses on long-term partnerships and advisory support, not one-off transactions.
