Business Overview:
An opportunity is available to acquire a pre-revenue intellectual property platform focused on improving safety, compliance, and operating efficiency in commercial and institutional cooking environments.

The company has developed a high-efficiency mist collection filtration system designed to capture grease-laden vapors and airborne contaminants before entering exhaust systems. The solution is engineered for retrofit integration into existing infrastructure, allowing access to a large installed base without requiring full equipment replacement.

The business is currently in the development and pre-commercialization phase, with a defined path to market contingent on final certification and execution of a go-to-market strategy.

Technology Overview
The core product is a reusable, self-cleaning filtration device with the following performance characteristics:

Captures approximately 95% of airborne mist particles at 0.3 microns and above
Separates and redirects grease into existing waste oil systems for downstream reuse
Designed for low maintenance and extended lifecycle performance
Demonstrates flame barrier and spark arrestor capabilities, addressing a key risk factor in commercial kitchen fires
The system is compatible with a wide range of existing exhaust hood configurations, positioning it as a practical upgrade rather than a replacement solution.

Value Proposition
The economic case for adoption is driven by measurable operational improvements:

Reduced frequency and cost of mandated exhaust system maintenance
Lower labor and service expenses
Potential insurance cost reductions tied to fire risk mitigation
Improved environmental performance and sustainability positioning
This combination creates a cost-justified upgrade, rather than a discretionary purchase.

Market Opportunity
Target end users include:

Multi-unit restaurant operators
Hotels and hospitality groups
Hospitals and healthcare facilities
Universities and institutional kitchens
Food courts and shopping centers
Government and municipal facilities
The retrofit nature of the solution provides access to a large installed base of existing systems, with estimated market potential in the multi-billion-dollar range.

Demand is supported by:

Enforcement of fire safety and ventilation standards (NFPA)
Rising maintenance and labor costs
Increased focus on environmental compliance and sustainability
Intellectual Property
The platform is supported by:

Issued patents with long remaining life
Patent-pending elements
Proprietary trade secrets with no expiration
The underlying technology has prior commercial application history under a separate entity, including documented use in commercial environments. That entity is no longer operating due to non-technical factors, providing a clean re-entry opportunity with validated technology.

Stage & Capital Requirements
Current stage: Pre-revenue / development
Key milestone: Certification under applicable fire and safety standards (NFPA)
Estimated capital required to commercialize: ~$500K–$600K
Potential access to grant funding tied to environmental and job creation initiatives may offset a portion of the capital requirement.

Ownership & Transition
100% founder-owned entity
Founder brings extensive industry experience and prior successful exits
Willing to provide transition support and assist with commercialization on a limited basis post-close
The business is currently dependent on founder knowledge, particularly around the technology and application.

Ideal Buyer Profile
Strategic acquirers in HVAC, filtration, or commercial kitchen equipment
Operators with existing service infrastructure seeking recurring revenue expansion
Investors experienced in commercializing industrial or environmental technologies
Groups with regulatory and certification expertise
