It’s very clear to anyone who has made an invention, or has tried and lives to try again. We want to know, how can we use the full power of the internet to help inventors? We need to hear your voices, help us help you.
We’re only a couple weeks away from releasing our beta website, which will be an incredibly flexible & powerful tool. We’ve designed it to help inventors bring their products to market. But we’re always open for suggestions . . . just because there are so many ways to help.
Business owners, entrepreneurs, and service providers, don’t worry. We didn’t forget about you. All of our forums are multi-directional. Our tools are designed to benefit you, as well as the inventor. And of course, we’re open ears for any suggestions of how we can help you.
Remember, it will be completely FREE to register and use many of our tools, but only for a limited time. As always, early bird gets the worm.

Hi Bryan,
I’m new to your site, and admire your vision of collaborative invention.
The movie you mention, The Pursuit of Happiness, presents not only a great lesson in the value of unswerving doggedness, plus a terrific view of the criticality of self-worth, but also it promotes an infrequent role-model of “fatherhood by a black man” in very positive ways. A combination of virtues I wish were on-screen far more frequently. No?
As a serial inventor/entrepreneur I would observe:
Ideas are in fact, a dime a doz….so post-invention, the story must shift. That is to say, that once the invention works, it’s all only about what’s next.
I’d like to share some observations I’ve used to distill it all down.
An entrepreneur is an inventor getting to market.
An entrepreneur is someone with a clear concise vision of the future, which no one else shares.
I might suggest you link to everybody that does laser-lithographic modeling; i.e., I mean those guys that will make a perfect scale model in a couple of hours, for a couple large. Act as, become the focal point for mass-producing one-offs. Won’t those guys/gals advertise and pay you for qualified leads/conversion to sales?
Marketing rule #1 – Demos sell. I believe this holds for all inventions, whatever the forum.
I’ll be watching your progess, with a keen interest.

Okay, so I have an idea
… then what? I’m not really an “inventor,” I just have an idea. Is there some outline somewhere as to how, step-by-step, one would take that glimmer of an idea and create millions with it? lol 
How do you keep others from stealing your idea? How do you go about actually getting your creation created? … again, without getting it stolen.
I’d wager a lot of fabulous things never get created because of the very fears I’m indicating here…and, of course, lack of funding. And even if such information to easily answer these questions is available, it never seems to be readily available — that is, people don’t know where to look, how to dig it out, who they can really trust…
