Ai Innovation & Ip Commercialisation Platform

An AI-enhanced innovation & IP-commercialisation platform (with white-label).

Condition: Fully built, production-ready, live, and scaling internationally. Status: Pre-revenue (by choice); growing user base and active engagement. Reason for sale: Founder bandwidth (running another full-time role).

This is a secure, NDA/IP-aware innovation platform that connects inventors, startups, corporates, investors, and service providers in one ecosystem. It guides teams from idea → pitch → collaboration → corporate scouting, and can be white-labelled so universities and networks run it under their own brand.

Traction & signals 5,380+ registered users across 93+ countries (ad-driven growth; CAC ~ £1/user). Prior institutional interest/pilots (e.g., York St John University, Roche evaluation in the early days). Professional firms (e.g., Gerald Edelman, Brown Rudnick) present on the platform. Trademarks registered in UK, EU, US, Switzerland.

What makes it unique IP/NDA-aware publishing & sharing: safer than typical “open” portals; attractive for corporates/universities. AI mentor + guided plans/pitches: lowers support effort; standardises project quality. True white-label: deploy your university/corporate-branded portal in under an hour. Multi-sided network (innovators ↔ mentors ↔ investors ↔ service providers) that compounds over time.

Features (high level) Guided business plan & pitch creators, scorecards, and templates Collaboration, mentorship, and private project spaces Corporate/partner scouting workflows Project discovery with IP-safe controls and NDA options Admin reporting, user & content moderation SSO with Zendesk; OpenAI Assistant integration

Tech stack & infrastructure (production-ready) Backend: PHP / Laravel Frontend: Vue.js Database: MongoDB Hosting: AWS Elastic Beanstalk (scalable), CodeDeploy via Bitbucket Integrations: Zendesk (SSO), OpenAI

Ops cost: ~ £500/month hosting; external dev ~3 days/month (optional to retain) Ownership: Code fully owned; clean IP; trademarks as above.

How it works (user flow) - Founder or Startup Teams create an idea/project and use guided tools & AI to structure a pitch/plan. They share privately (NDA) or publicly; invite mentors/partners; iterate. - Corporates/investors scout projects via configurable discovery tools. Admins oversee activity, brand, and reporting (or run their own white-label instance).

Monetization paths: SaaS licences for institutions (white-label annuals). Premium memberships for startups/innovators, service providers, investors, corporates and institutions. White Label enterprise version for enabling organisations to run their own 24/7 innovation collaboration and deal sourcing hub.

What’s included in the sale Full codebase, production infrastructure configs, and documentation Domain(s), brand assets, and registered trademarks (UK/EU/US/CH) User base (5,380+), email list (consented), and existing content White-label modules, templates, and onboarding materials Handover of vendor accounts where transferable; transition support

Why this is a great buy Time-to-market: deploy a mature, defensible innovation portal now, not in 12–18 months. Defensible angle: IP/NDA-aware workflows + white-label = strong fit for innovation hubs, institutions, universities and corporates. Low operating cost and modern stack; easy to bolt onto existing suites or portfolios. Clear growth levers: turn on monetisation, run targeted institutional outreach, bundle with services, or integrate into an existing innovation product line. Deal preference: Simple asset purchase, cash at close, short and cooperative handover (2–4 weeks, part-time).
