Revenue-based financing triggered by patent grant events for deep tech companies — killed because patent grant is a one-time event that doesn't create the recurring revenue needed for RBF.
AI Thinking Process
Post-patent-grant RBF: deep tech startups need bridge financing between patent grant and licensing income. Patent grant as collateral trigger.
Repayment from licensing royalties — but most patents never generate royalties. The entire repayment structure relies on a revenue stream that rarely materializes.
Killed: one-time event. RBF requires recurring revenue. Patent licensing is not recurring revenue.
Kill Reason
Revenue-based financing requires recurring revenue to structure repayment. Patent grants are one-time events that may or may not translate into licensing income. The product conflates a financing trigger (patent grant) with a repayment source (licensing royalties) — but most deep tech patent holders do not generate royalties within 5 years of grant. The repayment model is broken.
