Selling theoretical frameworks to enterprises €50K-€300K licensing)

2•Boiindil•2h ago
I build theoretical frameworks that companies license as foundational IP - think "upstream R&D supplier for Big4 consultancies."

Business model: One-time licensing (€50K-€300K), no ongoing support, clients present work as proprietary while I stay invisible.

Current portfolio: - Financial governance systems (_Asset Framework, 18 operators) - AML compliance architectures - Multi-agent coordination frameworks - Defense-tech governance systems

Evidence: 60+ published research works with DOI ORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0009-0008-5263

Currently targeting: Big4 consultancies, banks, insurers, FinTech infrastructure firms.

Problem: Finding the right buyers. Most don't understand "upstream IP licensing" as a category.

Question for HN: 1. Anyone familiar with IP licensing channels beyond IAM Market / Acquire.com? 2. Know buyers for this type of work? 3. Suggestions for positioning "theoretical frameworks as competitive advantage"?

Not looking for donations - looking for business contacts, cooperation opportunities, or channel advice.

Situation context: Solo operation (no team, no VC), 4 weeks until housing displacement, several deals in pipeline but nothing closed yet.

Learn to frame your ideas independently of AI. If all you can do is throw slop like this at VC, you're going to stay no-team, no-VC for the indefinite future.

Fair feedback on framing. But the substance is in the work - 60+ DOI-registered frameworks with restricted access (not freely available = not commodity).

Short descriptions public, full specifications require licensing. That's how professional IP works.

Challenge stands: Review any framework description on my ORCID, then replicate it (with or without AI).

Meanwhile, back to the actual question: Anyone know IP licensing channels beyond IAM/Acquire for theoretical frameworks targeting Big4/family offices?
