Christopher Bennett
Christopher Bennett is a social entrepreneur, legal innovator, and technology strategist working at the intersection of intellectual property, innovation, and emerging technologies. As the founder of IPRights4All® and the creator of the T-I-L® brand, Chris is focused on making intellectual property rights more useful by increasing awareness, accessibility, affordability, and availability of a potential return on investment in the user's terms for creatives, entrepreneurs, and underserved communities. His work combines legal insight, innovation, and mission-driven entrepreneurship to help individuals protect and scale the value of their ideas in the digital economy.
Through T-I-L® and its affiliated social impact law initiatives, as of 2023, Chris had helped more than 100 creatives and emerging entrepreneurs navigate intellectual property protections, contributing to an estimated $43 million in generated financial value. Building on these insights, he launched IPRights4All in 2024, a legal tech startup developing an AI- and blockchain-enabled SaaS platform designed to democratize access to IP rights and legal resources. Backed by pre-seed funding from 1863 Ventures (now New Majority Ventures) and the District of Columbia and funding through the African Diaspora Network's "ABLE" Program, the company launched its minimum viable product and graduated from the Penn West Innovation / Founder Institute Accelerator in Washington, DC.
A lifelong learner and systems thinker, Chris specializes in creating sustainable, data-driven business models that deliver measurable social and economic impact. His vision is rooted in reducing structural barriers to innovation while empowering creators to participate more fully in the global economy. Through entrepreneurship, legal technology, and community partnerships, he continues to advocate for a future where intellectual property rights are accessible to all.
