Marketplace

Projects, IP, patents, research, and code — for sale.

Q: What's in the BreakPoint marketplace?

Abandoned projects, IP, patents, research code, side projects, and business ideas that the original creator wants to sell (not just give away). Anything with a clear next-action and a real human who might want to take it on.

Q: How does the sell flow work?

Three steps: (1) the creator lists with an asking price and license type, (2) you contact them via the form on the project page, (3) you negotiate and arrange payment. Phase 2 will add Stripe Connect with escrow. For now, the platform takes 0% on free adoptions and 5% on paid sales.

Q: Is the marketplace free to browse?

Yes, always. We don't gate listings behind a paywall — the discovery layer is the point.

Every project here was built and walked away from. The original creator chose to sell, not give away. 5% platform fee. Stripe Connect for secure payments. Curated by the second-chance platform.
