Jonas Hagman

Jonas Hagman is a European Patent Attorney, IP strategist, and founder of IPsteading, where he helps startup founders turn intellectual property into real leverage for funding, growth, and exits. His mission is to move founders away from treating IP as a legal checkbox and instead use it as a power tool that increases the odds of raising capital and achieving successful exits.

He has worked with startups, SMEs, and large industrial companies to build patent portfolios that support product roadmaps and company value, and is known for explaining complex IP topics in clear, practical language. Jonas also hosts the “In the Head of a Founder” podcast, where he explores how founders, experts, and investors think about IP and growth.

Jonas is based in Sweden and has also been active in his community as a board member of the Göteborg Beachvolley Club and chairman of the board of a parent cooperative preschool, reflecting his interest in leadership and building strong, collaborative teams both inside and outside of work.
