Juristat, a trusted leader in patent analytics and predictive data science for intellectual property (IP) strategy, today announced a growth investment led by Advantage Capital. The new funding will enable Juristat to accelerate product innovation, expand its market presence, and establish a new headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut. The investment underscores Juristat’s market leadership and its proven ability to help legal professionals meet increasing demands for efficiency, predictability, and client success in patent prosecution.

The new capital will fuel development of advanced capabilities, including expanded patent data coverage across global markets (IP5), generative AI tools that deliver actionable insights faster, and sophisticated portfolio management features such as patent valuation and cost forecasting.

“This investment represents a major step forward for Juristat,” said Lauren Bonner, CEO of Juristat. “It allows us to accelerate innovation across our platform, enhance the data and tools our customers rely on, and expand our presence in Connecticut — a region rich with talent and opportunity in technology and intellectual property.”

As part of this expansion, Juristat will grow operations in Connecticut with support from Advantage Capital through the InvestCT program, which channels private capital to innovative, growth-oriented businesses across the state.

“Juristat exemplifies the kind of forward-looking company we seek to invest in,” said Greg Hulecki, Venture Partner at Advantage Capital. “By supporting innovation-driven businesses like Juristat, we’re helping strengthen the technology ecosystem and foster long-term economic growth in Connecticut and beyond.”

Amid rising workloads and the growing demand for data-driven results, Juristat has become an essential partner to IP professionals. Since 2013, the company has helped corporate IP teams and law firms replace manual processes with insights that improve success rates and reduce costs. Today, 42 of the top 100 patent firms rely on Juristat to manage risk and optimize performance.

This marks Juristat’s second major funding announcement in less than two years. Building on its 2024 private equity round, the new investment positions the company to continue scaling its platform and expanding its footprint in Connecticut.
