Posted on June 03, 2024

"To a hammer everything looks like a nail." Successful inventors do not work alone, they get help from professionals along the way. Finding someone good and trustworthy is obviously important. Equally important is finding the right help at the right time. At the beginning stages, good advice from a specialist might steer you in the wrong direction - be careful about engaging a company or adviser who specializes primarily in one aspect. For example, if your first adviser is a patent attorney, they will give you advice centered around patent protection. That’s how they see the world and that’s exactly ...

Posted on January 16, 2017

Kickstarter is a great way to launch a new product idea, but it's not the best way to raise money.Kickstarter Basics:You have a great new product idea and have heard that crowdfunding on a platform like Kickstarter is the way to go. In our experience it can be fantastic. But most of the time it fails to meet expectations.

And to have a big success on Kickstarter you ...

George Foreman didn't make his money by using Invent Help's services. He made his money by marketing a grill developed by others. There's nothing wrong with that and ...
