How to monetize an algorithm?
mlinsey: Not sure where to begin here without knowing anything about what you're "algorithm" is about, what it would be used for, etc.If you've created something useful, why not build a business on top of it yourself?If you don't want to do that, I suppose you could patent your algorithm and then grant licenses to use it.  If what you're licensing is literally just "the algorithm" as opposed to an implementation of the algorithm that you write, than I don't see how you can get around telling them "the math behind the algo".
