Embedded IP Operations
Fractional IP CxO — Licensing Revenue + Exit Multiple
Hire the operator who turned 66 patents into eight figures of royalty revenue. Part-time. Embedded in your company.
For companies who have already filed patents and now need to turn those filings into revenue, leverage, and a multi-billion exit narrative. We embed a senior operator in your business as a fractional Chief IP Officer. They run the dashboard, the licensing strategy, the GTM, the employment IP, and the investor narrative. You stop guessing and start compounding.
Engagements start at 6 months. Outcome-based fees available for licensing programmes.Who this is for
- Series B+ companies with a real patent portfolio and zero licensing revenue
- CEOs preparing for an M&A exit in the next 12 to 24 months who need to maximise IP-driven valuation
- Companies whose competitors are filing aggressively and need a blocking strategy yesterday
- Founders who do not want to hire a full-time CIPO at $400K base but need someone who has actually closed eight-figure licensing deals
What you get
An exited Beyond Elevation operator joins your team two days a week, attends your leadership meetings, and owns the IP outcome. Not an advisor. Not a consultant. An accountable executive on your roster.
We identify licensable claims, score the licensee universe, structure the deals (upfront, royalty, audit rights, field-of-use), run the outreach, and close. The same playbook Hayat Amin used to build Position Imaging into a recurring royalty machine.
We tell you exactly which 3 to 7 patents to file next quarter to block your biggest competitor's roadmap. Then we coordinate the filings. This is how you turn IP into a competitive moat investors can underwrite.
Most growth-stage companies have giant gaps in their employee IP assignment chain. We close them quietly so a future acquirer cannot use them as a discount lever during diligence.
When you go to market for a sale or a Series C, we hand the buyer a complete IP story: portfolio map, licensing P&L, blocking patents, employment chain, future filings. This is the page that adds 2 to 4x to your exit multiple.
The full dashboard is bundled into every Fractional CxO engagement at no extra cost. You get the tooling and the operator running it.

FAQ
Why fractional and not full-time?
A full-time CIPO costs $350K to $500K base plus equity, and most growth-stage companies do not need that volume of work. They need a senior operator two days a week, with the entire Beyond Elevation bench behind them. You get the seniority without the carry cost.
Who actually joins my company?
An exited Beyond Elevation operator with at least one eight-figure licensing or IP-driven exit in their history. We do not staff this engagement with juniors. You meet the person before you sign.
What size company is this for?
Series B and beyond, with at least $5M ARR or a real fundraising pipeline, and at least 3 filed patent applications. If you are smaller, start with the Patentability Audit and graduate up.
How do you charge?
Mix of monthly retainer plus outcome fees on closed licensing deals. Some clients prefer pure retainer, some prefer pure success-based on licensing revenue. We will structure it around what you actually need to win.
How fast can you start?
Three to four weeks from contract. We do not rush operator placement — the wrong operator costs you a quarter, the right one rewrites your exit story.
