Summary
Shafi Dayatar is a founder and former tech lead with nine years of experience building large-scale, enterprise software at Meta, Roche, and Cisco, now focused on transforming patent and FTO workflows with AI. He founded Patent Hive (Stealth AI startup) to produce counsel-ready patent and freedom-to-operate packets in hours, prioritizing traceability, governance, and defensibility rather than replacing attorneys. His background spans digital commerce systems that drove $1B+ in subscription revenue, ML/AI pipelines for genomic R&D, and performance-driven platform re-architecture—skills he leverages to shrink IP cycle times and improve quality. Comfortable across full-stack, data, and infrastructure domains, he combines product-minded engineering with legal-tech specificity. Based in San Jose, he pairs formal training from San José State and MIT’s Design Thinking program with hands-on startup execution. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of operationalizing reproducible, auditable workflows—critical for trustworthy AI in regulated IP processes.
