EUREKA turns five!
Five years is a real milestone, and enough time to reflect on the past through the rear view mirror and plan for the future. We're excited for next five years, and can't wait deliver.
25 May 2025 marks five years since EUREKA's incorporation, which is genuinely hard to believe. The early days meant working from a spare room, experimenting with video conferencing before it became part of everyday working life, and thinking ambitiously about what the practice could become. Five years in, it seems worth pausing to take stock.
Sometime around 2021/2 I was listening to a very mild-mannered Sam Altman as a guest on Software Engineering Daily, discussing the modest non-profit he was making progress on with AI tech. There were no clear hints it would leap so soon into mainstream consciousness and become the source of such a spectrum of amazement and trepidation.
And personally, it has been remarkable to watch AI become integrated into professional workflows as advisors, in parallel with complementary client workflows covering invention disclosures, ideation, and exploring new technological and commercial opportunities.
The view from 2025 is that experienced advisors will remain essential for shaping strategic direction. The judgement, the relationships, the long-game thinking. The more mechanical work, covering patent preparation, prior art searching, and technical literature review, will increasingly be accelerated by AI-enabled tooling. That is a development to welcome, not resist.
So overall, the future looks exciting at the intersection of technology, commerce and innovation.
