Lund-based startup Lightbringer, which offers an AI-powered all-in-one solution for patent protection, has raised €4.2 million (SEK 50 million) in a seed funding round. The capital injection will be used for expansion into Europe and the US.

The round was led by Luminar Ventures and Alliance VC, with additional support from Zenith VC and several angel investors in the Nordic tech ecosystem. Some of the angels who participated from the Øresund region are Johannes Bolvede, Hjalmar Antonsson, Sannah Westerlund and Johan Billgren.

The startup previously raised SEK 8.5 million in pre-seed funding in May, led by Skåne Ventures, which helped propel the development and initial rollout of its platform.
