A platform to salvage patents, prototypes, and customer relationships from European deep-tech startups whose funding was frozen by EIT Manufacturing's liquidation.
AI Thinking Process
100+ European deep-tech startups have frozen funding from EIT Manufacturing's liquidation. Could a platform salvage their technology assets — patents, prototypes, customer relationships?
G028 Crisis Signal Trap: Would this product exist after EIT recovers? The orphaned technology problem is crisis-specific. 'AI Startup Asset Salvage Platform' already killed in history for distribution problems. Market: ~100 companies = too thin for a product.
Crisis-driven (G028), market too small (~100 companies), overlaps with killed 'AI Startup Asset Salvage Platform.' Crisis benefits incumbents, not startups.
Tried broadening to all EU deep-tech failures — market remains thin and crisis benefits incumbents (VCs, M&A advisors). Fundamental crisis signal trap confirmed.
Kill Reason
Crisis-driven opportunity with a market too thin for a product business: approximately 100 EIT Manufacturing startups affected, event-specific rather than recurring, and crisis benefits incumbents (VCs, M&A advisors) who already have relationships with these companies.

killed: Open-source middleware (HAMi) already provides heterogeneous AI computing virtualization for free. Proprietary play is squeezed between free open-source and vertically integrated hardware vendor ecosystem.
killed: 5+ funded competitors including Cast AI ($1B valuation), OneChronos (backed by Nobel laureate), Akash Network (decentralized, 80% cheaper), Argentum AI (blockchain-settled). Market is claimed with massive capital.
killed: Template epidemic (G003) + industry-pain-form death pattern (G005) fire simultaneously. 13+ existing compliance tools. A prompt could do 80% of this.
