Oskar Block (Stilta): $10.5M a16z Seed for Agentic Patent Litigation

Oskar Block, CEO and co-founder of Stilta, announces a $10.5 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz after coming out of Y Combinator. He explains Stilta builds agentic AI for patent litigation—a high-stakes domain where mistakes can cost hundreds of millions—an idea sparked by co-founder Tobias's patent-attorney father. He covers 25+ paying customers across in-house IP teams and large IP firms, a hands-on onboarding motion that surfaces case evidence in the first sales call, a first term sheet on day two of fundraising, and plans to scale the four-person founding team with engineering and go-to-market hires. He also discusses returning to Stockholm after their US tourist visa ran out, opening a New York office by year-end, and the buzzing Swedish startup scene.
