BRILLIANCE

What is Brilliance?

What we Do

Brilliance democratizes innovation by making it widely accessible.

Our Vision

We envision a world where everyone is empowered to shape how society uses technology.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make intellectual property accessible, affordable, and investable for everyone.

Our Focus

We are creating tools that allow everyone to understand patents and intellectual property.

Democratization of Innovation

The most compelling argument for democratizing innovation is its ability to harness the collective intelligence and creativity of diverse individuals. It leads to more equitable, effective, and localized solutions that can tackle global and local challenges. This change is needed in intellectual property systems, where access to innovation tools, knowledge, and support is still largely concentrated among the few.

Passive Income & Wealth Generation

Allowing the general population to access avenues for passive wealth generation can have significant social impact by promoting financial inclusion, reducing economic disparities, and fostering greater social stability.

Unprecedented Access to Investment

Providing inventors with access to investment has a transformative social impact that extends beyond individual financial gain. It empowers creators, drives innovation, and strengthens communities by enabling a more diverse and inclusive ecosystem for technological and social advancement

Brilliance is building a new way to fund innovation—expanding who gets to participate in the technologies that shape the world. We create clearer, investable opportunities tied to real innovation so more people can support progress and share in the upside when it succeeds.

We’re a multidisciplinary team spanning engineering, law, finance, marketing, and social enterprise, operating at the intersection of fintech and mission-driven impact.

Our mission is to make intellectual property as accessible and understandable as other mainstream asset classes—so innovation isn’t something people only consume, but something more people can engage with, learn from, and benefit from.

We also optimize strategic partnerships—connecting problem-solvers with real needs—to help high-impact technologies move faster, further, and more fairly.
