Arkworth Inc. was founded by Max Yam to address gaps in the IP ecosystem’s ability to assess, communicate, and realize the value of IP. Despite an increase in interest around IP backed financing and how IP assets such as patents and data generate value for companies, there have been limited success in realizing on the value of these assets.

With close to a decade of experience in Venture Capital, IP investment and valuation Max leveraged his unique experience from Wi-LAN (a leading patent monetization firm), Quanitus Inc. (an innovative start-up venture debt fund), and the Business Development Bank of Canada’s IP Backed Financing Fund (a $160M fund that provided equity, debt, and convertible debt financing to innovative Canadian companies), to provide perspectives and insights on valuation, IP strategy, and monetization to companies and investors.
