If you really have a matrix mulitplication algorithm that multiplies nxn matrices in less than O(n^2.3729), you have made a mathematical breakthrough and should publish.

I second "publish".

If you've invented something worth noting, you'll get infinitely better residual value, visibility, respect and goodness coming your way for years to come vs. one time deal of selling your work to a private buyer for a one time fee in a sell-and-forget type of deal.
