BritAsia Fund partners with digital intelligence platform PatSnap
PatSnap is a connected innovation intelligence platform, that allows users to filter data, extract key insights, identify market opportunities and make better business decisions based on AI-powered technology and machine learning.
As part of our funding arm, we are committed to helping businesses realise their goals — particularly as we emerge from the pandemic and look forward to a brighter, stable economy.
By unlocking the potential of diligent, passionate and driven entrepreneurs, we aim to get the UK PLC back on its feet. As such, BritAsia Fund has created a system whereby entrepreneurs can access opportunities based solely on merit.
We will teach startup businesses the blueprint of how to build a successful company from the ground up and combine this initiative with the support of a TV show to help entrepreneurs raise money and scale their companies.
Pitch It is delighted to be joined by PatSnap Co-Founder & VP New Ventures, Ray Chohan, who brings a wealth of experience from the software and data analytics industry. In 2012, Ray founded PatSnap West, part of a global business now valued at more than $1bn and backed by the likes of SoftBank and Sequoia capital.
With significant experience in IP knowledge and coaching world-class talent, Ray’s insight, expertise and vast investor network will prove the rocket fuel behind the hugely talented Pitch It entrepreneurs.
CEO of BritAsia, Tony Shergill commented: “It has been truly heart-breaking to see the adversity so many have gone through over the past year. I wanted to do more than just give sympathy, so it’s amazing to put this initiative together and see it having such a positive impact on businesses.”
Ray Chohan added: “Innovation and entrepreneurialism are pivotal to driving widespread, long-term economic growth. I started PatSnap West from my apartment, so fully support any initiative to help realise the potential of pioneering start-ups.”
As part of our relationship with Pitch It, we are providing start-ups with complimentary advice on their IP strategy through our enterprise-grade AI-driven software. We are also offering expert guidance and providing priceless access to our global investor network.”
“I fully believe that Pitch It will deliver a significant impact and I’m looking forward to seeing the initiative rolled out nationwide.”
