05.3 — Questions

You'll probably have questions.

i.Where does the money come from?+

Institutional investors, private credit funds, and family offices. Capital is allocated and available for the right structures.

ii.How is the artist protected?+

Every deal is independent and audited. Terms defined upfront, reviewed by your lawyer before anything moves. We work alongside the existing team until everyone is comfortable.

iii.What does my team need to do?+

Start with a conversation. We handle structuring, capital raising, and execution, so your team doesn't have to build that capability internally.

iv.How long does the process take?+

We come back with structured options after an initial conversation. Timeline depends on complexity, but the process moves at your pace.

v.What does a PNAQL structure cost?+

Tailored to each deal and disclosed in full before anything is signed. Your team reviews the complete terms and economics before committing.

vi.What percentage of my royalties or income am I giving up?+

It depends on the structure. A catalogue instrument allocates a defined portion of royalty flows for a defined period. A growth capital structure is anchored by future income. Percentages, terms, and reversion conditions are designed around your situation. Nothing is templated.

vii.Is there a minimum catalogue size or income level?+

We work across a range of deal sizes and structures. A first conversation is the best way to establish whether there's a fit.

viii.What about institutional investors?+

Creative IP offers durable, contracted cash flows with low correlation to traditional markets. PNAQL is building the instruments and fund structures to make that investable. Contact funds@pnaql.com.

ix.Do I give up ownership?+

Not unless that's what you actually want. Many structures keep full ownership with you. Others involve partial or complete transfers where that genuinely makes sense. We lay out every option so you can decide what fits.

x.How is this different from selling to a buyer?+

A typical buyer gives you one offer on their terms. We design multiple structures around your situation and you pick the one that works. Selling is one option, but so is borrowing against your IP, sharing income for a defined period, or a combination. Your lawyer is in the room the whole time, and the terms are transparent from the start.

05.4 — About PNAQL

For press use. Approved boilerplate.

Reproduced with attribution. Amendments require written approval.

PNAQL (pronounced "pinnacle") is the market infrastructure connecting creative IP to institutional capital. The company exists to close the gap between the value creative work generates and the capital markets available to the people who create it.

For artists and rights holders, PNAQL builds the ownership structures and capital access that allow creative ambition to operate on its own terms.

For institutional capital and governments, PNAQL provides the capital market infrastructure and listed instruments to invest in cultural production as a compounding asset class. The founding instrument is the Creative Wealth Fund, a sovereign-scale capital structure that channels investment into creative production and returns its growth to the originators.

The company's founding research, The Missing Market for Creative Utility (SSRN Abstract ID: 6379120), establishes the formal argument for this structural gap and the conditions required to close it.
