Hilco Streambank Overseeing Intangible Asset Sale Of Stackpath Edge Computing And Infrastructure As A Service (Iaas) Technology Company

Bid Deadline: February 19, 2025

NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hilco Streambank announced it is seeking offers to acquire the patents, proprietary software, domain names, and trademarks of edge computing and infrastructure as a services (IaaS) technology company StackPath.

The deadline for submission of binding bids is February 19, 2025 .

Founded in 2015 by the founders of SoftLayer Technologies (acquired by IBM in 2013), StackPath is a cloud computing platform that provides IaaS with a focus on advanced edge computing technologies. StackPath propelled its capabilities, customer base, and competitive positioning through numerous strategic acquisitions.

The company generated $79 million in revenue in FY23. The edge computing segment alone generated $33 million in revenue from September 2023 through June 2024. Despite this commercial success, StackPath still faced industry-wide headwinds that hindered efforts to scale, as well as unavailing capital markets, all of which led to its need to file an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

Hilco Streambank Senior Vice President and head of patent advisory solutions, Karl Maersch, commented, "We see a tremendous amount of growth potential in the global edge computing market. Some studies suggest the current $16 billion market will grow at a CAGR of 36.9% through 2030. The advanced StackPath technology is the product of nearly a decade and $400 million of investment, development, and M&A activity, representing a substantial opportunity for a strategic operator or investor to jumpstart or bolster an existing edge computing business." Regarding the company's IP, Maersch continued, "Strategics and patent buyers alike should pay particular attention to the patent portfolio available in this acquisition opportunity. The existing patent portfolio shows strong metrics for both defensive and offensive patent positioning, including multiple patents that have formed the basis for numerous forward patent application rejections by some of the largest tech companies in the space."
