License Others' IP on Rev-Share

Option patents, books, or products — pure distribution play.

Overview

Approach inventors/authors/small brand owners with patents or products they can't scale. Option or license the IP for 5–15% royalty with no upfront (or small $1–5k advance). You handle marketing, distribution, manufacturing partnerships. Zero capital, zero R&D — pure execution arbitrage. Common in consumer products, health/beauty, and B2B software.
