Company mission

58% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Brainbase's founder was just 13 years old when he wrote a letter to his future self asking whether he still wanted to start his own computer company. Almost ten years later he launched Brainbase, a platform that helps companies monetize and manage their intellectual property.
Based on the belief that protecting one's own ideas should be easy and affordable, Brainbase's licensing technology platform simplifies filing for trademarks and monitoring infringements. Brainbase operates a marketplace where would-be vendors can meet license holders to pitch ideas on new products using intellectual property.
MyMediaBox is currently the leading provider of cloud-based solutions for brand licensing contracts, but the increasing adoption of Brainbase's products by companies like BBC Studios and BuzzFeed indicates Brianbase are begining to shake things up.
