Fantasy leagues for intellectual property, where communities contribute attention to build audience with a filmmaker and gauge audience reaction before a project's official release
Fantasy leagues for intellectual property, where communities contribute attention to build audience with a filmmaker and gauge audience reaction before a project's official release. Aims to build an IP Marketplace with tangible valuations on intangible assets. Spent three years studying research reports, money laundering aspects, fundamentals of IP and stock exchanges, and how corporate equity behavior can be applied to IP where usability is contingent on relatable audiences, IP is a difficult business asset, and shelf life is roughly 2 years. Understands that fantasy leagues work for competition-based matches but harnessing community into non-competitive assets is a fundamentally different challenge. Background in Computer Science and AI switched to finance, spent years on institutional PE at KPMG automating and scaling research. Has spent 3 years doing deep academic-level reading on IP valuation, stock exchange mechanics, and the film industry's structural shift toward corporate content portfolios. The Indian entertainment ecosystem is seeing institutional capital flow in: CineNow ($150M, BVI-based, bringing VC expertise), Cyrus Poonawalla investing in Dharma Productions, PE firms actively approaching the film industry. Globally, IP tokenisation is being revived by players like Erich Spangenberg (SIM IP) and Rohit Dalmia (CineNow). Vaizen IP's approach is distinct in doing this without blockchain to meet government regulations.
The difficulty of filmmakers not knowing if their script will be turned into a film due to gatekeepers in the industry.
An IP marketplace that provides tools for validation and distribution, allowing content creators to manage their own IPs and streamline the production process.
