Developum has authored ten verticals. License one and operate it in your market — no engineering, no scaffolding, no waiting on a roadmap.
Two of our verticals run in-house as the proof of what this platform does.
Filmmakers develop scripts, raise capital from supporters, and close deals with investors — all in one AI-staffed workspace built for the way independent film actually gets made.
See it live →Artists shape songs, build press kits, raise capital from supporters, and close label deals — same architecture, calibrated to how a record actually gets made.
See it live →Eight turnkey platforms, each one a full business in its industry.
Real Estate
Agents position listings, develop the brochure and partnership decks, cultivate the private buyer list, and close transactions — all in one workspace built for the way luxury real estate actually moves. The platform is calibrated for agent-first workflows, with private-network gates between pocket listings and the broader market. Pierce, Hadley, Sterling, and Catherine staff the rooms; the agent runs the firm.
License Ashford & Grey →Book Publishing
Authors develop the manuscript, build the proposal package, cultivate the early-reader bench, and close deals with publishers — all in one AI-staffed workspace shaped for how a book actually gets made. Bennett positions the acquisition, Diana lives in the manuscript, Lynn closes the contract, Sylvia keeps the imprint's readers. Agents and editors collaborate on the rails; the author runs the project.
License Codex House →Restaurants & Hospitality
Restaurateurs, hoteliers, and bar-program leads originate concepts, develop the menu and partnership deck, cultivate regulars, and close hotel-program or distribution partnerships — all in one workspace for the operator walking the floor on opening night. Cesar architects the concept, Alice lives in the menu, Mireille closes partnerships, Sirio keeps regulars by name. The format ranges from forty-seat restaurant to hotel bar to private club; the seat does not.
License Maison Hospitality →Sports
Coaches, athletic directors, and program leads build the season story, write the playbook, close sponsorships, and cultivate boosters — all in one workspace calibrated for the person closest to the field. The platform lands the same for a junior-college baseball coach building around three transfer players as it does for a parent organizing a travel-team tournament push. Branch architects the season, Pat lives in the playbook, Donna closes sponsorships, Cap keeps the booster community.
License Ludocreum →Healthcare
Practitioners originate clinical or research programs, write the protocol, secure grant and institutional funding, and steward patient-family relationships at the center of the work — all in one workspace built with the careful register healthcare requires. Atul shapes the program, Florence lives in the protocol, Risa closes grants and partnerships, Cicely holds the patient-as-person posture across every room. The platform spans solo practice, hospital department, and community-health initiative.
License Civicare →Tech Startups
Technical and solo founders ship the spec, refine the pitch deck, raise SAFE and seed rounds, and keep the early-user bench close — all in one workspace built for the founder closest to the code. Patrick shapes the product, Sandi lives in the spec and RFC, Heidi closes term sheets, Nat keeps the developer community. The platform is calibrated to early-stage; this is the workspace for the founder who shipped the first commit, not the operator three rounds from IPO.
License Kernel.io →Event Production
Event producers, impresarios, and executive producers curate events, hold the run-of-show, close sponsorships and venue partnerships, and cultivate the patron community across seasons — all in one workspace built for the producer making sure the doors open at seven sharp. Sol curates the program, Phyllida lives in the run-of-show, Marcie closes sponsorships, Agnes keeps the patrons. The platform spans festival to corporate gala to symphony season to wedding.
License Encore →Fashion & Apparel
Designers and creative directors originate collections, draft tech packs and look books, secure wholesale orders and licensing partnerships, and cultivate the patrons identified with the house — all in one workspace built for the designer closest to the cutting table. Geoffrey shapes the collection, Rei lives in the construction, Linda closes wholesale and showroom deals, Daphne keeps the patrons. The platform spans first-collection capsule to multi-brand house, RTW to accessories.
License Vestra →Tell us about the business you operate and the vertical you are interested in. The intake takes about three minutes. We review every submission personally.
We schedule a thirty-minute strategy call within forty-eight hours. We confirm fit, walk through the platform's mechanics in your industry, and answer the questions the FAQ below did not cover.
You choose a tier, sign the licensing agreement, and we deploy your branded vertical within fourteen days of payment. Your operator credentials and a kickoff call follow.
Three ways to license. Pick the one that fits your business.
Most operators start here
$25,000
setup fee, one-time
Full IP ownership, no ongoing fees
$200,000
setup fee, one-time
Zero upfront, larger revenue share
$0
no upfront cost
It depends on the tier. Under Operator License or Partner Path, the brand is licensed to you for the term of the agreement; you operate it under that brand in your market. Under Owner Buyout, the brand and all associated IP transfer to you in full. In all three tiers, you control how the brand operates in your market — pricing, customers, marketing — within the standards documented in the licensing agreement.
Fourteen days from setup payment for Operator License and Owner Buyout. For Partner Path, fourteen days from agreement signature, since no setup payment is required. The clock starts when the licensing agreement is fully executed.
You do. The vertical is your platform, and the end users — the filmmakers, authors, designers, practitioners, founders — are your customers. Developum handles platform-level technical support (the engine, the AI, the infrastructure, and the architectural updates that ship across all verticals). You handle the relationship-level support that defines an operator's market.
Yes, within the brand. The entity bibles ship with the vertical's voice; you can tune the language, add industry-specific knowledge, and adjust the AI staff's behavior for your market. Major personality rewrites or new entity additions are scoped work — handled through your platform-update channel under Operator License, or by your team directly under Owner Buyout.
Under Operator License and Partner Path, we retain the underlying platform (the AI engine, the hosted infrastructure, the architectural updates that ship across all verticals) and the brand IP. You retain your operator data, your customer relationships, and your operational decisions in your market. Under Owner Buyout, we retain nothing — the IP transfers in full and you operate independently from that point forward.
Yes. Each vertical is licensed separately, and pricing scales per-vertical. Operators running two or three related verticals — for example, Maison Hospitality and Encore for a hospitality-and-events business — is a pattern we support, and we can structure into a single agreement at the strategy-call stage.
Talk to us. We have shipped eleven verticals to date; new verticals get authored when there is a serious operator behind the request. Reach out via the intake form, select "other" for industry, and tell us about the platform you would want to operate. We do not author verticals on spec, but we move fast when an operator commits.
The 10% applies to the operator's platform-mediated revenue, not the end-user's revenue. For most verticals that means the operator's services, commission, or fee income on engagements routed through the platform's workflow. Two verticals (Civicare and grassroots Ludocreum) carry exceptions handled at the strategy-call stage. Expand any vertical below for the specifics.
Operators are typically brokerages, agent-collectives, or services firms working with luxury real-estate agents. The 10% applies to commission income on transactions closed through Catherine's deal-room workflow — the buyer-agent, listing-agent, or co-listing-agent commission documented in a transaction closed under the brokerage's license on the platform. Deals an agent closes outside the platform's workflow are out of scope. Operator License is recommended.
Operators are typically literary agencies, author-services firms, or boutique imprints. The 10% applies to the operator's commission and services income on author engagements that ran through the platform — agency commissions on book deals closed in Lynn's deal-room, retainer fees on author-services engagements, or imprint margins on books moved through the pipeline. End-author royalties belong to the author and are out of scope.
Operators are typically hospitality-services consultancies, restaurant-group operators, or fractional-COO firms. The 10% applies to the operator's services-fee, consultancy-fee, or platform-mediated transaction income — not to the end-restaurant's food-and-beverage revenue, which belongs to the restaurateur using the platform.
Grassroots sports operators (Little League dad organizing a tournament, junior-college coach running a season) generally do not have a platform-revenue surface that maps cleanly to a 10% mechanic. Partner Path is the recommended default — 30% of whatever revenue does flow keeps Developum aligned with grassroots reality, and the contract converts to Operator License at the month-six revenue check if the operator scales. Services-fee operators (e.g., travel-team management firms) can take Operator License directly.
The 10% does NOT apply to clinical revenue — insurance reimbursement, patient-care fees, capitation payments, or value-based-care contracts. Federal anti-kickback statutes, Stark Law, and state-level corporate-practice-of-medicine rules prohibit non-clinical entities from taking a percentage of clinical care fees. The 10% applies only to the operator's services-fee or grant-administration income (e.g., a healthcare consultancy charging health systems a retainer to use Civicare for their clinical-research programs). Operator License is recommended with an explicit clinical-revenue exclusion written into the licensing agreement. Operators whose entire revenue is clinical should consider Partner Path or Owner Buyout.
Operators are typically accelerators, venture studios, fractional-CTO services firms, or holding companies running early-stage startups. The 10% applies to the operator's services-fee, management-fee, or platform-mediated revenue — accelerator program fees, venture-studio management fees on LP capital, fractional-CTO retainer income from founder clients. End-founder revenue (the founder's MRR from their own product) is out of scope; the founder is the end-user, not the operator.
Operators are typically event-production agencies, event-management consultancies, festival organizations, or venues running their own event programs. The 10% applies to the operator's production-fee, agency-commission, or services-fee income on events run through the platform. Ticket revenue from the event itself belongs to the event organizer (the operator's end-client) unless the operator is producing for its own audience — in which case net event revenue is the rev-share base.
Operators are typically multi-brand showrooms, fashion incubators, services consultancies, or holding companies running multiple emerging designer labels. The 10% applies to the operator's services-fee, showroom-commission, or licensing-revenue on engagements routed through the platform — wholesale orders closed in Linda's deal-room, showroom-representation fees from designer clients, licensing royalties on co-branded deals. End-designer revenue from direct-to-consumer or independent wholesale belongs to the designer.
Operator License includes approximately 150 active end-user projects per month at typical usage, with extended usage billed at the underlying AI model cost (no markup). Service does not cut off past the cap — it bills through. Most operators stay well within the cap; high-volume operators receive a usage report monthly and can adjust as the platform scales.
The licensing agreement runs annually from the platform go-live date and auto-renews on the anniversary at the same terms unless you give written notice at least sixty days before renewal. To cancel, send notice to your Developum contact within that sixty-day window; the contract ends cleanly on the renewal date. If you do not cancel, the contract renews automatically at the same setup-fee, monthly-license, and revenue-share terms originally agreed. Owner Buyout has no renewal — the IP transfers in full at signing and the relationship is complete.
