Who we are
CDI exists because good technology stalls for boring reasons — no company, no contracts, no market study, nobody to run the invoicing. We remove those reasons at two different moments in a product’s life.
We become the financial and operational entity behind a live application: invoicing under the client’s brand, escrow-backed payments, compliance and white-labeled support. The software stays entirely theirs.
We take a validated MVP or prototype under an exclusive 12-month licence, spend our own money taking it to customers, and either earn ownership by launching it — with perpetual royalties to the inventor — or hand the rights back.
The two connect: a technology CDI launches can then run on CDI custody.
To find promising technologies, prove they can hold up in a market, and take them there — creating fair and lasting value for the inventor as well as for CDI.
To become the hub European inventors go to first, confident that CDI will push their technology into the market with fairness, transparency and professional execution.
Perpetual royalties and a return clause, written before you sign — not renegotiated after.
Every number on this site is the number in the contract. Quarterly statements, no surprises.
We don’t advise, mentor or coach. We build, protect and sell.
We say no often, and say it fast. A slow no wastes more of your time than a hard one.
CDI is not an incubator. We don’t run cohorts, programmes or demo days, and we don’t coach founders. There is nothing for you to attend.
CDI is not a venture capital fund. We don’t buy equity in your company, we don’t sit on your board, and we don’t ask you to raise. If you have a company, it stays yours and untouched.
CDI is a centre for the custody and commercialisation of innovation. In one service we hold the financial layer of a product that already sells. In the other we hold a temporary licence on a technology and take it to market. Operationally we run like a venture studio; contractually we behave like a custodian.

One is for a technology that can’t reach a market. The other is for a product that already sells. Both start with a conversation.
