Services for Sellers of Commercialized Software

Consulting

One of the barriers to technology commercialization for most enterprises is the inability to locate and evaluate assets efficiently. Leveraging our years of experience on both sides of IP commercialization transactions, we help our clients develop internal processes and best practices, thereby opening up new revenue streams and walking them into the new open innovation economy.

Capture & Screen Assets

When our clients are ready to take the next step in technology commercialization, they look to us to provide them with tools to capture and screen IP assets that may have commercial viability. The Fluid Licensing System helps them organize the assets into taxonomies, manage the assets through the commercialization process, and prioritize based on our patent pending grading model that helps to evaluate the technologies’ potential based on a variety of asset specific attributes as well as historical and forecasted market data and the size of the market.

Marketing the Technology

Much like products on the shelf at the grocery store, your technology’s story needs to be packaged with a focus on the problem it solves and the results. We help our clients present their software in a way that allows prospective licensees to understand the benefits and quickly evaluate it for a potential match to their needs.

Once packaged, we promote your software on our online marketplace, which is available to our ISV network and the public. But we don’t stop there, we offer a range of marketing services to help our enterprise customers reach their target market—including more in-depth merchandising services, advertising and sponsorship opportunities, and planning and implementation of buyer awareness events. We also send quarterly updates to our ISV network to highlight available software that fits the needs and wants they identify. An added benefit of the work we do with our ISV network is that often when we learn of new software the name(s) of potential buyers come to mind immediately, and we will reach out to them to determine their interest.

Deal Facilitation

Beyond our upfront consulting services and technology, our clients usually ask us for help negotiating the deal. We can help screen the software company for fit, assist with the signing of an NDA, work with you to set up a demo, provide additional due diligence assistance, and offer guidance on the term sheet and contract.
