Good work has more to give
Start with the rights you want to keep.
You may want to keep developing, distributing or licensing your project. Those plans belong in the conversation from the start.
Know the permitted uses
The agreement defines how materials may be used, including any AI research, training, evaluation or further licensing.
Agree the economics
A fixed payment, revenue share or ongoing arrangement may fit. We put the amount, timing and obligations in a proposal.

Consider an offer
If there’s a fit, we put the scope, rights, intended uses and payment in writing. You decide whether to proceed.
A purchase. A licence. A possibility.
A purchase can transfer agreed rights. A licence can let you keep ownership while permitting specific uses, including AI research, training or evaluation. We can discuss a fixed payment, revenue share or ongoing arrangement where suitable. Nothing is sold or licensed by sending an enquiry.
Before you say g’day
Good questions.
A little clarity
goes a long way.
Is a licence the same as selling my IP?
No. A licence gives permission for specified uses; a sale transfers the rights described in the agreement. We make the proposed arrangement clear before you decide.
Will the licence be exclusive?
That is a term to discuss, not an assumption. Scope, exclusivity, duration, permitted uses and your retained rights are set out in the proposed agreement.
Can I keep developing the software?
That can be part of a licensing arrangement. Tell us your plans so any proposal addresses the rights you need to retain.
What happens after I enquire?
We review your overview and follow up by email. If there is a fit, we discuss confidentiality and any detailed review, then propose the materials, rights, permitted uses and payment in writing. An enquiry is not a commitment to sell or license.
How much could my work be worth?
It depends on the quality, scope, rights and fit of the materials. This is a personal review, not an instant valuation. Not every project receives an offer, and any amount and payment timing are agreed in writing.
What will the materials be used for?
Agreed uses can include AI research, training and evaluation. The agreement sets out the permitted uses and any further licensing before handover. Your initial enquiry does not grant a licence.
