Commercial licensing
Four tiers of access across 67 cultivar specifications — from a single Scoville Splice specimen to the full Capsaicin Design Platform. Pricing custom-quoted, scope negotiable.
What fits you
Pick a goal. We’ll surface the right tier and what it includes.
Four tiers
Individual cultivar access
A single engineered cultivar for a single product. Ideal for food & beverage brands, R&D labs, and product developers launching one SKU.
Market exclusivity
Exclusive rights to a cultivar within a defined category — hot sauce, snack food, pharmaceutical, or custom vertical. First-mover protection.
Full genomic data
DNA construct sequences, CRISPR guide RNAs, gene expression datasets, and ESM2 mutation analysis. For biotech firms and research institutions.
Complete technology stack
The entire Capsaicin Design Platform: metabolic models, protein engineering, CRISPR design, blend chemistry, and construct assembly for any organism.
Who licenses what
Scenario. A craft hot-sauce company licenses SS-TOM-03 Pyroclast (250K SHU engineered tomato) to launch a tomato-based hot sauce where the heat IS the tomato — no added pepper paste required.
Outcome. Clean label, differentiated SKU, defensible IP position against competitors who still rely on pepper mash.
Scenario. A chip manufacturer takes a Sector License on SS-POT-02 Fault Line (10K SHU engineered potato) for the hot-chip category. No other chip brand can license the same cultivar for the same category.
Outcome. Three-year head-start on a self-spiced potato chip; competitors locked out of the Seismic potato line.
Scenario. A seed-development firm licenses the Beyond Peppers Strawberry Sweet Heat genome package to integrate the capsaicinoid cassette into their proprietary strawberry breeding program.
Outcome. Internal R&D accelerated by two years; Fragaria-optimized constructs already validated.
Scenario. A pain-research institution licenses the Platform to design novel capsaicinoid analog cultivars at specific blend ratios for TRPV1 receptor studies — cultivars that don't exist in the Scoville Splice product line.
Outcome. Custom analog libraries produced in-house in weeks instead of commissioning multi-year contracts.
