The question now is what I am to do with this knowledge. Perhaps
inverstors, consulting, selling, or nothing, or whatever. Any
suggestions?

Being entirely pessimistic.

Investors seek a product, so this is a step towards selling a product
Consulting, knowing about one particular area which as a consultant will not
give a competitive advantage, won't be of much salable use
Selling the concepts, only works if you have patents, and once you have
patents you have to prove that this is better, so this is equivalent once
again to selling a product

Selling a product. The problem with this is that you offer no benefit over
the currently available technology, at least none that you have mentioned.
The truth is that hardware verification to unlock a key is functionally as
secure as using the print itself for a key.

Now on to the more important part, and the claim that quickly become
non-functional. Any attempt to choose or fix the private key in an RSA key
pair results in a very large public key, this slows the system, and becomes
detrimental. This means that still you would be using the print to control
access to the key. Unless your design is notably cheaper I don't see the
benefit.

So what is your real benefit?
