Character IP Collab Matchmaker

2.50

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Pokémon 30th anniversary IP events
Step 2 Character IP licensing brokerage

Problem

Small F&B and fashion brands with $75K-$750K annual revenue want to collaborate with popular IPs like Pokémon or Sanrio, but it takes an average of 2-3 months just to locate licensor contacts, minimum royalty terms, and contract conditions. On the IP holder side, a single staff member spends 40+ hours per month reviewing collaboration proposals from small brands one by one.

Solution

Structures and databases IP holders' licensing terms (minimum quantities, royalty rates, usage scope), auto-recommends matching IPs when small brands input their budget, category, and timeline, and auto-generates standardized collaboration proposals for batch submission to IP holders.

Target: Small F&B, fashion, and stationery brands with $75K-$750K annual revenue, 1-2 person marketing teams
Revenue Model: 5% brokerage fee on contract value upon successful collaboration + Premium Subscription $29/month (unlimited IP search + proposal generation)
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
