Axel D'Addario

I'm the founder of Beyond the Patent, a platform built for inventors, patent holders, and investors who want IP to do more than sit in a filing cabinet.

I'm also the Founder and Managing Partner of Broadview Holdings, where I work as a fractional COO, CSO, and CIO and operating partner to founder-led businesses, private equity portfolio companies, and growth-stage organizations — connecting intellectual property with product development, capital, and commercial execution.

Over the past decade, I've developed and commercialized intellectual property across consumer products, health and wellness, technology, financial services, sports, and real estate. That work has included patents, trademarks, licensing structures, supply-chain-protected processes, and the operating models that turn protected ideas into revenue-generating businesses.

My background is in strategy and operations. I've held seats as Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, Vice President of Operations, and Board Member. I've helped companies raise capital, build partnerships, enter retail, and structure deals where the IP itself was the core asset.

Beyond the Patent exists because I kept seeing the same gap: smart inventors with strong patents who had no clear path to market, and investors who wanted IP-backed opportunities but didn't know how to evaluate them. I built this to bridge both sides.
