2026年7月8日,《商业内幕》新闻消息,麦肯锡素来以把怀揣远大抱负的年轻咨询顾问打磨成PPT工具人而闻名。前麦肯锡瑞典员工Oskar Block与Oscar Adamsson在这家公司吃透了企业商业游说的整套逻辑,随后便凭借这套思路在美国推出了自己的初创项目。

二人创立的企业Stilta,依托人工智能软件,为企业识别专利侵权行为并开展维权。公司于今年1月成立,迅速完成1,050万美元种子轮融资(约折合人民币7,138万元),领投方为Andreessen Horowitz(硅谷顶尖风险投资公司,简称a16z

其余投资方包含Y孵化器,以及多家人工智能企业在职员工,涉及 OpenAI、Lovable,还有估值56亿美元(约折合人民币380.7亿元)的初创企业Legora,该企业专为律所与企业法务团队开发软件。

Oskar Block离开麦肯锡时持有一个核心判断:长期依赖律师、表格与人工逐份核查的知识产权业务,已经到了依靠智能代理技术全面升级的阶段。

为落地这套产品,他与Oscar Adamsson联合了另外两位麦肯锡体系内从业者:麦肯锡人工智能子公司昆腾布莱克首席数据科学家Tobias Estreen,以及该公司数据工程师Petrus Werner。

“如今很多企业手握庞大专利组合,却大多把专利束之高阁,闲置不用。”Oskar Block 说道。

Stilta的运行逻辑是将专利拆解为多项可由智能代理并行处理的分析任务。律师先明确工作目标:检索侵权专利、应诉抗辩,或是梳理企业整体专利资产。

随后该企业的智能代理会检索专利文献、学术论文、档案记录、网页存档等各类资料,筛选与目标专利相关的佐证材料。后续多组智能代理会将检索到的证据对应到专利权利要求书 —— 专利中界定发明人专属权益的核心条款,并标注全部资料来源。

Stilta的核心卖点在于:繁琐的检索、证据整理工作交由智能代理完成,最终如何运用这些资料的决策权仍掌握在律师手中。

Oskar Block称,目前Stilta六成营收来自律所,剩余四成来自企业内部法务部门。该公司企业客户涵盖罗氏集团与丹麦物流巨头马士基。他表示,这款软件能让企业法务团队自行处理大部分专利业务,减少外聘律师需求,从而控制法务开支。

专利业务现已成为法律科技领域最新的竞争赛道。Stilta的竞争对手包括 Patlytics、DeepIP等企业,这类公司开发覆盖专利全生命周期的工具,从专利撰写到维权执行均可实现。

Andreessen Horowitz多次押注,认为专利行业具备颠覆性革新的巨大空间。今年6月,初创企业Fearn宣布完成种子轮融资,投资方包含Andreessen Horowitz旗下加速项目a16z Speedrun;这家企业主打让发明人自主撰写专利。

Oskar Block透露,Stilta本轮融资周期极短,期间与Andreessen Horowitz开展了多轮沟通。“我们提前筛选意向投资方,优先选择理念契合a16z的机构,为此回绝了所有其他投资意向书。”Oskar Block表示。

Stilta还向《商业内幕独家公开了其融资演示文稿。

《商业内幕》新闻稿原文如下:


McKinsey is famous for turning ambitious young consultants into slide-deck machines.


Former associates Oskar Block and Oscar Adamsson learned the language of corporate persuasion inside the firm, then used it to sell their own startup idea.


Their company, Stilta, helps businesses spot and fight patent violations using artificial intelligence-powered software. Founded in January of this year, it quickly raised a $10.5 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz.


Other investors include Y Combinator and employees from AI companies, including OpenAI, Lovable, and Legora, a $5.6 billion startup building software for law firms and corporate legal teams.


Block left McKinsey with a thesis that intellectual-property work — long dominated by lawyers, spreadsheets, and painstaking manual review — was ready for an agentic upgrade.


To build it, he and Adamsson teamed up with two other members of the McKinsey orbit: Tobias Estreen, a lead data scientist at QuantumBlack, McKinsey's AI arm, and Petrus Werner, a data engineer there.


"A lot of companies today sit on this huge patent portfolio," Block said. "They typically just place them in a drawer."


Stilta works by breaking down patent analysis into a series of tasks that agents can run in parallel. A lawyer first defines the objective, whether they are trying to find other patents that infringe on theirs, defend against a lawsuit, or analyze a patent portfolio.


From there, the company says its agents search across patents, academic papers, file histories, web archives, and other sources, looking for evidence tied to the patent at hand. Then, more agents map the evidence to "claims" — the parts of a patent that define exactly what the inventor says they own — and cite their sources.


Stilta's pitch is that the agents handle the slog of searching and organizing evidence, while attorneys stay in control of deciding what to do with the information.


Today, Block said about 60% of Stilta's revenue comes from law firms, while 40% comes from corporate legal departments. Enterprise customers include Roche and Danish logistics giant Maersk. He argues the software could help those in-house teams rein in legal bills by keeping more patent work inside the company instead of sending it to outside counsel.


Patent work has become one of legal tech's newest battlegrounds. Stilta competes with companies like Patlytics and DeepIP, which are building tools for the full patent lifecycle, from drafting to enforcement.


Andreessen Horowitz has made more than one bet that patent work is ripe for disruption. In June, Fearn, a startup that lets inventors draft patents themselves, announced it had raised a seed round from investors including a16z Speedrun, the firm's accelerator.


Block said Stilta had multiple meetings with Andreessen Horowitz over a "very short" fundraise.


"We made choices about who we wanted on the cap table and prioritized the fit with a16z," Block said. "That meant we turned down all other term sheets we got."


Stilta shared its pitch deck exclusively with Business Insider.
