Licensees keep $252 per unit sold. MoldCycle earns a $17.50 royalty. At 10,000 units annually, that's $2.52M in licensee profit from one product line.
Unit Economics
Every unit sold runs through a simple, transparent structure. Licensees set their own retail pricing above the wholesale floor. The numbers below reflect the standard $700 retail configuration.
A licensee selling 10,000 units per year — roughly one mid-size retail channel — generates $2.52M in net profit from a single SKU. MoldCycle earns $175,000 in royalties from the same volume.
Market Positioning
MoldCycle sits in a category of its own — priced like an appliance, performing like industrial equipment. Comparable options are either too expensive for consumers or too limited for professionals.
| Option | Price Range | Target User | Capability | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Precious Plastic (DIY) | $3,000–$5,000 | Hobbyists / Makerspaces | Limited, manual | Too expensive, limited |
| MoldCycle (Professional) | $600–$800 | Residential / Commercial | Full closed-loop, automatic | Sweet spot |
| Industrial Injection Presses | $15,000+ | Factories | High-volume industrial | Wrong market |
Licensing Terms
MoldCycle licenses the technology, brand, and manufacturing specification. Licensees handle distribution and customer relationships in their territory.
Calculated on the net wholesale price after standard channel discounts. No minimums on the base license — royalties scale with your volume.
Exclusive territory licensing is available for qualified partners. Territories are defined by geography or market segment. First-come basis for high-demand regions.
Licensees may opt for an annual minimum advance of $50K to secure exclusivity. This offsets against royalties earned — it's a floor, not an additional fee.
From signed agreement to first deliverable unit: 4 months. Includes production setup, quality verification, and initial inventory fulfillment.
