Ideas

Ideas are the heart of our business. We have lots of incoming ideas from our network of Inventors.

Your Idea

If you have an idea for an invention, we encourage you to contact us. We can help you bring your idea to the marketplace.

A lot of "inventor help" companies want you to pay them, and they do work on your behalf, perhaps helping you get a patent, or tell you how to sell things on the internet. Of course, they leave the hard part to you: developing the product and getting people to buy it.

You Pay Nothing

The way we work is to pick the best ideas that are submitted to us, and do all the work to develop, brand, and ship the product, with the goal being to match the new product to the perfect acquirer, whether it be a big retailer or an industrial firm. As the Inventor, you will share in the profit if the product is successful, but you pay nothing. This is a bit like optioning a screen play to a movie studio: they do all the work, and you get a cut if they like your idea.

We're Looking For Good Ideas

What we're looking for is just great ideas for products. You don't have to have done a lot of work on it, or have drawings, or a patent. What's important is that you've identified an interesting problem that needs a solution, and you have an idea for how to solve that problem. We have a staff of experts who can help develop the idea, choose appropriate technologies and manufacturing techniques, and figure out who the customer is and how to reach them.

How To Describe Your Idea

Tell us as much as you can about what problem you're solving, what kind of product you have in mind, and who you think needs it. Compare the opportunity to competitive products, make analogies to existing ideas, and convince us there is a real need for the product.

Intellectual Property

It is important that your idea really be your own idea, and that you "own" it. Often a lot of people have similar ideas, and we will apply due diligence to determining if the intellectual property that you propose is unique and defensible, and ultimately that is what we will sell, on your behalf. When you first contact us, don't send us anything proprietary or confidential. Send only PUBLIC information.

Picking the Best Ideas

Our business model is to consider a lot of ideas and pick the ones we think have the greatest chances of success, then put a lot of work into making them successful. We don't develop every idea that is submitted to us. If we don't choose your idea, we will tell you why not, and return the idea to you. If you're like us, you will have another idea, and another, so keep submitting them!
