Our Story
How It All Began
While working with the London Stock Exchange in the late 90s, Stephen Robertson, CEO and Founder, observed how analysts and investors often looked beyond the financial accounts and focused instead on the powerful brand, disruptive software or R&D that they believed provided a greater insight into a company’s future success. These were IP assets, and these assets were not just driving the revenues of public companies, they were underpinning the performance of many private businesses, large and small.
In 2003, Metis Partners was founded with the vision of helping all companies gain recognition for their IP assets that are critical to all businesses. Stephen began with a vision of helping business owners discover the valuable IP assets in their business, often hidden in plain sight. Now we are helping clients discover the value of their IP assets and our website continues the theme of discovery and aligning with our core brand 'Metis' linked to a Greek mythology in which 'Metis' is the Greek of goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and strategy.
Our Coming of Age
More than two decades later, our role has changed from IP educators to trusted IP advisors. We have been valuing IP for corporates, lenders and investors and our clients are now those with market-leading brands; those with active M&A strategies who need to understand how the IP they are acquiring underpins competitive advantage and provides a strong competitive moat; those developing disruptive IoT solutions or those leveraging their IP to pivot their business models and restructure in changing markets. Our clients are exciting, dynamic and innovative and we are privileged to be capturing their IP story through our unique information discovery and valuation process.
