Profit sharing can be structured in various ways depending on the agreements among stakeholders:
1. Equity-Based Sharing: In this model, stakeholders receive a percentage of equity in the venture. When the project generates profits, dividends are distributed according to the equity held. 2. Revenue Sharing: Here, profits are distributed based on the revenue generated by the nanotechnology product or service. 3. Milestone-Based Bonuses: Stakeholders receive bonuses upon achieving specific milestones, such as successful trials, patents, or reaching market goals. 4. Licensing and Royalties: Institutions or companies that own patents on nanotechnology may license them out and share the royalties with stakeholders involved in the development.
